[QUOTE="bengineer, post: 2395413, member: 36951"] Consider holdover, too. If he can hold on, one variable is removed. Im almost always in favor of more diameter, but here isn't that place. 243 is minimal, light, anemic, not enough, etc etc. but it is sufficient for game kills with proper bullet selection and placement. My 12 year old took 6 deer and pronghorn this year with said 243 (all 1 shot each). The 300 blk stayed home. His confidence grew with each shot. His biggest consideration all season every time I asked if he wanted to use another caliber: is it flat shooting. He always went to the 243. [/QUOTE]
