[QUOTE="B Jordan, post: 192418, member: 4700"] i built 2 223 wssm last year with fast twist barrels and had several problems i did have problems after a couple firings getting the brass to seal when the rifle went off without having too much pressure and left a black residue about half way down the shoulder so i was talking to fred at SSS one day and he said he had trouble with any 223 wssm with barrel lengths over 26" i rechambered one to a 22-243 and cut the other one down to 25 and1/2" if i remember right and had better luck but there was still brass issues i had to anneal the brass about every other firing so after a while i scraped the whole project and built a 7mm wsm out of the action i also want to add that the little sucker shot great just to much work for me also you might want to call seirra and ask why the dont supply load data for a 223 wssm they could also help you with you neck thickness they done alot of testing with this cartridge I know what its like to want something so good luck with your project [/QUOTE]
