Looking for a good caliber for 12 year old with as little recoil as possible. Not against something with a bull barrel it will be a blind gun. What caliber would you go with for good whitetail/axis size animals? I have a 300BO in an AR platform but just don’t think it’s got enough knock down power. What you say green screen? Anybody have anything for sale?

My kids both started with the 243 using the hornady lite ammo, we have shot and killed a lot of deer and pigs (big pigs) with absolutely no issues. I find that round to be deadly. My daughter got a hold of my 6.5cm last year and now she won’t hunt with anything else.
I have a 7-08 and while I like it, it has the most recoil of the three.
If I was starting over I’d go 6.5cm
Lite recoil, great knockdown power and great at long ranges if your kids have the confidence. My daughter regularly kills pigs at 170-180yds which I consider a long shot for any youth.
