[QUOTE="Hogbear, post: 2056438, member: 2649"] An inexperienced youth shooter is much more likely to be more accurate with a quiet, low recoilng .243. Using a harder kicking round will make them flinch just enough to get a marginal shot and cause a lost, wounded animal. I use my .30-06 sometimes just to get it out of the safe and I don't see a dime's worth of difference in the way deer react to being hit with an 85 grain .243 or a 168 grain .30-06. If anything, the .243 drops them a little faster, don't know why. Both of them are more than enough to drop one of these southern whitetails.
