If he were to get drawn, and decided to use his .243, which premium bullet would you recommend?
..........At 14, he`s old enough to get started with the 30-06.

For moose, a 30-06 is a far more desirable choice than a 243.
I agree with you 100%. Not saying a 243win is not capable in the hands of a experience shooter. But a 30-06 would be a better choice for better sectional density and bullet retension.

Nothing like a Remington 700xcr.
