Based on the above and what's available on the market...

there are plenty of youth rifles, from various manufacturers in 243, which is as effective as a 6.5 or 7mm, none magnum or based on a 308 sized case...

Factory ammo would be more available, readily about anywhere for the 243....

the 6.5 Creed and the 7/08 are hit and miss...

for a handloader, I'd got with whatever rifle you or your young shooter would like best...
