    I'll go against the 243 as I think it's honestly a bit light on Reds. Will it kill them sure but not as well as something larger. For a beginners gun low recoil is a good idea but making things...

    1000 Ftlbs is a nice guide. But to be honest knowing at which impact speeds your bullet of choice works is more important. Ie most solid copper bullets require 2000+ fps at impact, whereas something...

    As for a 16 inch 7mm08 I'd run the 150 eld x and I'd try get reloder 17 or Varget works well and you will likely get 2500-2700fps which should give you enough impact velocity to around 550yards but...
