F Class Rifle Recoil (243 something) for daughter

After running the numbers it looks like a 243 ,SLR , 243AI or a 6xc will be the same recoil with 105 at higher velocity.
 
To the guys shooting the 6xc, does it do better with a .236 bore or .237 bore barrels and the same question for the 6SLR or 243AI.
 
Unless you want her frustrated with the wind, run the fastest 105s you can. Unless she is a serious competitor shooting lots of matches and thousands of rounds a year, I recommend 243AI. Lots to love about 105s at near or at 3300fps. I have shot my hunting 243AI (11lb, 24" barrel) in 1000yd f-class and it did pretty well. The round would be a pussycat in a 20+lb gun.

I find fireforming rounds to be very accurate. I have several rifles which require this step and never felt it limiting.
