I dug this post up from a seach. I am going to take my daughter hunting for whitetails in Nov of 06. I am wanting to buy a gun now so she is profecient with it. I was leaning toward a 243 for recoil reasons, but was considering a 308 with the managed recoil loads. When she grows and can shoot the full 308 rounds. I belive it would be nice to have something she can grow into. These rounds have been out for a while anybody using them?
