[QUOTE="victor, post: 132425, member: 3361"] Thanks for the replies guys, I've thought about this for a little bit and I think I will just use the KISS method here (keep it simple stupid). Why bother going to the trouble of making a custom round that will have the incorrect head stamp on the case, require non-standard dies, and not have the ability to go to the local sporting goods store to purchase factory loaded rounds, if I need to in a pinch. Also, the ballistic performance between the 6.5WSM and the .270WSM is pretty much splitting hairs from what I see so far. Also, I already have a .270Wby Mag so I have plenty of bullets stocked up, why complicate matters with another caliber, I'd only need to setup more storage in my reloading cabinet and real estate is mighty scarce in there as it is. Now some may say, why do I need a .270WSM when I have an excellent .270Wby. Well, I'll think on that and get back to you, but right now I just know I need one. Kirby, I sure hope you have a .270WSM reamer in your arsenal of tools. As a matter of fact, it would be nice to post all the reamers that you do have, so we can pick and choose what calibers you could make for us. Regards, Vic [/QUOTE]
