All I'm saying is dont buy a .243 for a beginner rifle, just buy a .243 for what it is...a great standard caliber.
You consistently make no sense pintailhomes, he's getting his son the .243 as a beginner rifle because for now his son can't stand more recoil than that. In the future, he can get a 30-06, but not now.
Where does it say he's buying a .243? Several people suggested it, but he hasn't replied since the original post. A .243 isn't a beginner rifleis all I'm saying. A .22 is a beginner rifle. A .243 is an adult rifle.
I'm still waiting on your expert analysis of using rifled slugs through a rifled barrel and how that would "destroy a barrel" That statement discredited all of your opinions in my view. You made a statement and suggestion that you had no prior experience and passed it on as fact.[:'(]
