Gawd, now I feel like an absolute ass for buying my son a Rossi Trifecta youth combo that includes the 243/20g/22lr for Xmas. It's not that I was trying to be cheap, its just that it gave the best bang for the buck and I figured that he could shoot the 22 and reduced loads in the 243 until he was able to shoot full loads. He has already been shooting reduced loads out of my 30-30 and loving it. He is 7 by the way, nearly 8.
