[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 225820, member: 9705"] I'm no expert here but this is what it looks like to me. It looks like Winchester just took the same case as the WSM line, cut the front off and necked it down to form the WSSM line. But this leaves you with a very thick neck on these cases. All other 224 cartridges have an outside diameter on the neck less than 0.260. The 223 WSSM is 0.272. The really accurate rounds like 22 PPC and 22 BR have outside necks at 0.246. That's a huge difference. Very thick brass in the neck area. I don't hear anything good about these rounds. If I wanted a really hot 224, I'd look elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
