[QUOTE="Wanfalt1, post: 1302562, member: 101097"] I think the more powder capacity you put in a kids hands the less you get out of the kid. Noise and recoil are such a negative. Having said that I don't have a dog in this fight. A .243 is a true throat eater with slow burning powders and heavy bullets. And the most evil kicking rifle I have ever shot was a 700 ADL. 25-06. But I want the big rifle shooters to consider. A big rifle as an example my 7stw won't kill a coyote near as well as my little .17. The bullets don't expend their energy quickly enough. (Lung Shots) I have never seen an elk shot in the lungs with a 300 Win. Mag. Not run at least 50 yds. and you can't even with a partition bullet tell they have been hit until they fall over. Now a similar sized elk shot with an 85 Grain Sierra Gameking generally just fold up. My thoughts here are big is absolutely not better when you are shooting well. And marginal shots with a big rifle are just as ineffective as they are with a small rifle. I think the rifle manufacturers have learned this and they are selling 6.5 Creedmoor's like nothing we have seen before. I don't own a creedmoor. [/QUOTE]
