My vote is 7mm-08. My son grew up with it and still shoots it as a young man. We have never lost a deer with it and farthest track was 50 yds about a week ago. Moving buck and he shot a little high but excellent blood trail. Lot of load options as well. Shot placement is key with anything so get them comfortable with it. Great caliber IMO. Search this topic - several recent threads. Start slow, focus on safety and make it fun for them. Good luck. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)
