[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 576930, member: 10832"] These sites will be very helpful to you. [URL="http://www.handloads.com/calc/recoil.asp"]Recoil Calculator[/URL] [URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/ballistics.html"]Long Range Hunting Ballistics Calculator[/URL] You will learn all kinds of info and be able to endlessly compare different types of bullets and loads. Both the options you mention are hard to beat. If I am going to go with a reduced chambering I would probably go with the 260 just because it will shoot as flat or flatter with less wind drift and less recoil. 140 vs 140 and the 6.5 wins. If you compare the best of both calibers, ie 6.5 140 and the 7mm 162, then it will probably come down to the individual rifle and how much velocity you can get becuase those two loads are going to be pretty close. I would guess the 260 comes out on top more often in drop and wind drift. Good luck! Scot E. [/QUOTE]
