Well, if you get off your high 7mm-08 horse and pay attention you would have read that the idea is to have the kids shoot managed recoil loads now and have the option to step up to full loads as they get bigger and want to pursue larger game. My 15 year old is 6'3" 195 lbs so I believe my younger sons will grow into it as well.
Remington's managed recoil load in 300WM recoils the same or less than your blessed 7mm-08 so what exactly is so dumb? The 7mm-08 is a fine round but not the answer to every discussion on this site.
