go with the 243 and shoot 55 grain bullets. Should be on par with 223 recoil wise. Then you can work him up to 80 or 100 grain bullets later.

How old is your son? My brother bought his son a 300 AAC handi rifle and it is a great little gun. Bullet is plenty big enough. Gonna be hard finding one right now, though. Mash here.

What about a 7-08 with managed recoil ammo?
I don't guess I answered your original question so disregard. It is the route I would go though

It depends. How old is he? Has he shot any center fire rifles before?
Conventional wisdom says 243. But, here is the flip side.
223 ammo is dirt cheap and virtually no recoil. This means he can shoot all he wants without hurting his shoulder or your wallet. Practice is a good thing.
Also, FWIW, my son and nephew are both shooting 243's and occasionally my son carries a 223.
I have been far more impressed with the damage and pass through shots from a 55gr tsx in 223 vs 100 gr soft points in 243.
If he keeps his shots short, a 223 does just fine.

.243 100 grain Rem Pointed Soft Point. I hunt with my son's when I'm tree hunting the majority of the time. That little thing is deadly, it's H&R Handy with a bull barrel.

Not sure how big your boy is but I started my oldest daughter with a full size 7mm08 Browning on shooting sticks. I let her practice with a .223 then handed her the 7mm08 when it came time to hunt. The first time she pulled the trigger on it was killing a deer. 3 years later and you can't convince her that a 7mm08 has any recoil at all. Out of those 2 choices it's .243 all the way. But my vote is a 7mm08. You can always let him shoot reduce recoil loads to practice then slip in the good shells when it comes time to hunt. Trust me he'll never know the difference when he's pulling the trigger on a deer
