The 243 is underrated by a lot of people,I've shot pigs over 300 pounds with it(one shot one kill)& & friend of mine used to use it on red deer with no problems & I beleive it is a good cartridge to start off with.However the 260 or the 7mm-08 would be very good as well,
as they allow the use of heavier bullets with little increase in recoil,I havn't used the 260 but the 7mm-08 is now a favorite of mine.

The 243,260ren,7mm-08 & 308 are all based on the same case,the 308 necked down.
The 260 or the 7mm-08 with bullets up to 140 grains would be my choice for the boys,the 308 might just have too much recoil.

Which ever way you go,give the boys plenty of practice before live game as shot placement is the secret.

Good hunting
