[QUOTE="264WM, post: 1058333, member: 48145"] I wasn't thinking kids so that would open another line of thought which would include their size and you sure don't want to start the flinch mod due to recoil. My son has a 9 year old daughter and after hours of comparing recoil with different cartridges we decided that the 243 is the best to start youth on for a deer rifle. Ammo is easy to get for the 243 also. In Washington the 243 is the smallest caliber that can be used for deer. I have seen people shoot bull elk with it also. But that is where bullet placement comes in. The best training in the world for youth shooters is with the 22LR with peep sights. Before going to the deer rifle. Lots of time on the range with competition targets will develop good shooting habits. [/QUOTE]
