[QUOTE="tbrice23, post: 1409347, member: 59502"] I'm very familiar with the WSM. The 170 will be so far in the case that the ogive will probably be inside the case neck taking up probably 1/3 or more of the case capacity if you run a SAAMI spec chamber and use the magazine. IMO,The loss of velocity will negate any BC you will likely see by using a 150 vld. If you are set on building a rifle for the 170 you should look into a 270 Weatherby at LEAST. I'm thinking of building a 8 twist 270 Weatherby for this bullet. [/QUOTE]
