A mild loaded 6.5CM with light 120gr ELD-M projectiles with a suppressor should be quite tame to shoot and it'd be hard to tell apart from a 100grn .243 I would have thought.

The young chap may also be more impressed with a newer cartridge rather than a crusty old .243 that was introduced, perhaps before his dad was born. Don't get me wrong, the .243 is a much better cartridge now with the 8 inch twist and modern projectiles but cartridge choice is a personal thing. What fills my heart with joy as a cartridge may be ho hum to others. What does the young chap think?
