[QUOTE="264MHC, post: 1951275, member: 111161"] I would agree with the above. Going from a 35 to 40 degree shoulder will gain very little, and the wsm already has very little taper so there’s not much room to blow the shoulder out either. But if you just want it to be different, then that’s a good enough reason. Also be aware that the 7 wsm has a short .240 neck and necking down to 6.5 will reduce that another .018 or so. That doesn’t leave much room to chase the lands as the throat moves out, which will happen quickly with this cartridge. Another thing to note is that if you want to seat heavy bullets above the neck shoulder junction, your Coals will be 3.2 ish. If you’re ok with these compromises then go for it. [/QUOTE]
