    Of course but what chambering could possibly outdo the mighty 243?

    Ballisticly never going to happen, 223 is a scaled down 308,243 is quite overbore in comparison.

    She didn't like my suppressed 223. Said it was pushing her back so she started closing her eyes. That was when the 11-12mm groups at 100m opened up. We managed to get past that little hiccup.

    Something in 7mm and some sort of magnum case would be a good next step I think.

    So your remmag then?
    I wouldnt encourage my kids to be too quick into a magnum. Plenty of things to master with a standard cal prior to that.
    How far out does she want to get? Any of the 6.5s will get you way out with enough available clicks

    A 7 Rem mag with a Terminator on it is pussy cat to shoot, less recoil than a light 243

    Excellent comparison video @Kiwi Greg

    The T2 certainly tames the beast alright.

    @gadgetman If you are up this way on a Saturday morning come shoot with me. I seem to be shooting plates most Saturday morning at some distance over 3,4 or 500 + (except for today when I tipped over my first ever porker on my first ever proper piggy hunt with dogs)
