    I will be reloading at some stage but at the moment have no need as i brought most of Gavins ammo of him.
    The .260 could be the go, i can tell you the .243 and .270 and not on the list for consideration, recoil is a big factor here as i want this rifle to be usable for my boy in a few years time.

    My 10 year old brother shoots my other brothers Steyr mannlicher 243 no worries and they have a bit of kick for a 243 so I don't think you'd have to worry about that. Similarly 7mm08 has next to no recoil, actually read a story in a NZ hunting mag last year about a 7 year old shooting his first sika with a 7mm08. As has been said your 260 will kick noticeably more than a 243 and it'll kill the same animals
