Recoil: 243 Win vs 6mm ARC

[douglasfir]

For those who have shot both, how would you rate the felt recoil for 243 vs 6mm ARC? I know the ARC is gonna be less recoil, but I'm wondering how noticeable the difference would be, especially for a smaller person. I'm leaning towards picking up a 243 youth rifle because of ammo availability (I don't reload). But if the recoil is significantly less with the ARC, I'm willing to take the chance that ARC offerings will become more common over time.

It’s noticeably better, IMO, for youth and smaller shooters.

It’s much closer to a .223 rem than a .243z
