RE: Is a 243 rifle good for a kid?
The dreaded shoulder shot. Some guns like a slug gun at close range, I love the shoulder shot. Massive damage, drops like a hammer. But for other guns with say BT's or SST's, in my 270, or 7mm-08 or even 308I won't do it. But if I am shooting Barnes or partitions, and all I have is shoulder shot, you bet ya I will be eatin venision that night.
For that bullet, a boiler room shot is a must and devistating if it reaches its mark.
