I had the same experience you did with the 243 at about 420 yds. the deer lay down in tall grass & jumped up when I got closer,killed it with another shot. the first one at long range went all the way through the lungs & exited without expanding. it didnt bleed from either the entrance or exit hole I didnt even find the exit wound untill I field dressed it. the 130 gr. 270 is just as devastating at close range as the 243 & will ruin a lot of meat but keeps enough velocity to expand at long range too. for 400 yd shots the 270 would be best. at that range ballistic tips should be used to insure expansion.

They have a little more recoil than a .243, but it is a bigger round with more knockdown power and has a little bit more range. Try a 7mm08.

Sometimes it's hard to look back on our youth and try to remember what we as kids thought of the guns we shot. I think if we could do this efficiently we would make good choices. A .30-30 is usually good up to 200 yards. I was raised on a .30-30 and have fond memories and remember nothing negative from the first time firing it.

I own a small place in the hill country of Texas, our deer aren't as large here as they are in other parts of the United States, most of the folks around my place either use a 243 or 22-250. I have both as well as a 30-06, 30-30, 308, 223. Depending on how large the deer are and at what range you are going to try to take these deer is what would be my determining factor. Shooting deer up to about 150 yards is great with a 22-250 or the 243 for greater distances I would use the 308 cal., all of our friends that have been to sniper school should recognize this weapon as it is a little bit like AT&T is will reach out and touch some one. I would how ever train your son with a small cal. rifle, when he shoots at a deer he isn't going to feel the (recoil) rifle buck against his shoulder. This past season I took a wild pig and a seven point buck with a 243 cal. The buck ran maybe 35 yards and the pig ran almost 15 yards. You don’t say what part of the country you are going to hunt in.

I think of it as the rifle equivalent of the 410 shotgun, used by novices but really only good for experts. My middle son was a bit recoil shy, but the youngest was pretty impervious, and you'll have to place your kid's tolerance, but I'd suggest something like 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser, 260 Remington, 7x57 Mauser, or 7mm08. Those all have shorter powder columns than 270 but have an equivalent level of punch (or better). For Chrissake, not 243.
