Today, 03:26 AM Recoil energy from a 243 is about 9lbs, for a standard factory load, while the 7-08 develops about 12 lbs. There are two ways of looking at this: It's only 3lbs more recoil, or it has 33% more recoil. The bottom line is that each shooter perceives recoil differently, such that an ill-fitting 7-08 and it's 12 pounds of recoil just might be enough to bother a young, inexperienced rifleman. Certainly anyone who has fired a lot of centerfire ammo won't be concerned by such a small difference. The two main things to do are making sure the stock fits well, with a good quality recoil pad, and then work them up to the more powerful loads with a 223 or other light-kicking rifle.
