[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 488912, member: 14435"] I talked to a genteman shooting one in F-open. He was getting velocities just over what a 260 rem could do, which puts you directly in line with a 260AI. He shot well that day. He also said he was neck turning, but he was running the standard 243wssm shoulder angle. Personally I would just go 260AI and get the Lapua brass which needs very little prep work. But the WSSM brass is thick, the neck on my 223wssm brass is over 0.02" thick, where most of my other brass runs 0.01 - 0.013". The case walls are also heavy and the brass is tough, I have 10 reloads on some cases and they are still like new. Winchester really should have come out with a 270wssm, I think it would have sold well, since it is the only caliber without a standard velocity short action cartridge. I am in the process of doing just that a 270-243wssm, it will not be a long range gun, but a sub 6 pound mtn rifle with a 22" barrel. [/QUOTE]
