[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 191901, member: 313"] Two things would concern me regarding the 223 WSSM cartridge. 1. For whatever reason the WSSM cartridges (as a family) never caught on. This could cause dwindling availability of brass which could be a big problem in the future. 2. As you have noticed, the quality of current brass may not be that good and it isn't very likely that match brass will become available any time soon, if ever. I'd much rather build a rifle around a cartridge that currently has match grade component available. I'm not sure what cartridges your action would accomodate but there may be other .224 hotrods that would work better and be easier in the long run. Just a thought & Good luck with the project [/QUOTE]
