What im getting at is if you are fairly new to shooting then @Max Headroom 's suggestion to shoot a lot of smaller stuff first to develop good shooting habits etc is a good one.

I understand your concern mate, and ive taken this into consideration. I am buying a .223 in the very near future following maxs advice. Cheers bro
