[QUOTE="ElkStalkR, post: 2657685, member: 2292"] Well it all depends on load and weight of the gun, but there is a recoil chart on this page to give you an idea: [url]http://www.chuckhawks.com/recoil_table.htm[/url] Personally I would not want my 60lb kid shooting a 243. Why? Because I know without a doubt they can handle and more accurately shoot a 223. As that chart shows, a 243 has light recoil in the grand scheme of rifles, but is substantially more than a 223. Granted I understand a "one gun does it all" theory, but if money isn't a huge issue, or you don't mind buying a bigger gun when the time comes a 223, IMO, is a far superior choice when it comes to "lightweight" kids. For example. My 70lb daughter could shoot a whole box of 223 for practice and never feel a thing. Never even got a bruise from shooting. I highly doubt she could have taken that many shots with a 243. Practice makes perfect and it allowed her to get a lot of practice in before the big event. [/QUOTE]
