[QUOTE="snox801, post: 2940739, member: 54383"] I get a lot of youth started in hunting every year. Here is the order I would do from absolutely best and why. 6.5 Grendel 100gr pills. This is very little recoil, speed enough for flat shooting and enough energy to take large game. I’ve killed hundreds of hogs, 4 red stag, lots of deers, and elk over 20 Audad with the 6.5 Grendel and 97-99gr loads. Second would be the 300blk. Very versatile and low recoil. Cheaper ammo for them to play. Plenty of thump for game. Shooting the 100gr bullets makes it flat rough and enough energy to take game out to 300 yards. Thai was my go to round till I got a Grendel. Killed more hogs than I can remember, piles of large Michigan whitetail, and a few sheep. Only ranks behind the 6.5 Grendel because it doesn’t have the distance the Grendel does for killing. Runs out of steam much earlier. Last would be a .243 win. Lots of kids start wit these and young adults. Obviously it has enough to take out any game you want with correct bullets. Now the downside is that if they shoot a ton it will burn out the barrel way before the other two. It also has much more recoil than the others. Please do t make the mistake of hoping the kids get used to recoil. It sets up a long process of trying to get over it. For us .243 and up other .308 seem lite but not to kids. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
