He is not shy of recoil, yet. At 9 he helped a friend break in a new AR15 in .223. He went through over 100 rounds in it. He then asked to shoot the real battle rifle there, a Garand. My daughter shot it (16 at the time) but I did not let him shoot it. He shoots a .410 at clays and can shoot the 1911 with the .45 ACP barrel on it now instead of the .22. The largest centerfire he shot was 6mm Rem. That is a varmint gun with a bull barrel and Monte Carlo style stock. It probably has less recoil than the .223. He also has his own bolt action .22 so he is familiar with that style action. The daughter is the lever action freak. Her BB gun when she was little, her .22 and now 30-30.
If I talk him into a .308 we could use the same round, assuming it shoots the Nosler 150gr OK.
He is almost 5'2" now and a little over 100#. Stocky boy. He is old enough to take Hunters Safety this year.
