I'm still curious why anyone would rec a 223/243 for a beginner vs a reduced load 7-08, 270 or 308?
Because there simply is no good reason not to. Besides, none of these idots are actually endorsing reduced loads.

That's the best reason to use a 223/243? I don't buy that one. I'd consider a smaller caliber if there was a legitimate reason that made it the best tool for the job. Saying there's no good reason NOT to use it doesn't convince me the 223/243 is the best tool.

I did and posed it as part of the question. Do you (or anyone else here) recommend a 223/243 for beginner deer hunter instead a reduced load 7-08, 270 or 308? If so, I'd like to hear a logical explanation why.

But 243 bounces off a deer hide.
