Thread: Selection of caliber for new shooter(s)

I've yet to meet anybody with a FAL that doesn't own a .22 or several. Cheap and cheerful to hone in basic marksmanship and kill furry things. You can pick up a second hand beater for next to nothing.
Not going to enter the centerfire debate because there are no right answers just opinions. If you can shoot a few different rifles in different cartridges do it, especially if your young fullas going to be using it too.
Trick is you've got to hit what your aiming at first, regardless of caliber.
