[QUOTE="CBS, post: 881652, member: 11718"] Well, those are good calibers that you're considering but you may want to consider something in the 6mm / 6.5 range. In my experience (relatively limited considering the membership on this site) starting with, and practicing with, a smaller caliber is easier on the shoulder and the pocketbook. I am a big fan of practicing with a 243 with a heavy barrel and muzzle break as it will reach out there and is easy to shoot. I took a buddy and his 9 year old out and after a quick explanation of what we were doing his son made first shot hits at 400, 775, and 845. Those big cals can be rough on anyone. [/QUOTE]
