[QUOTE="FlGunner, post: 2026855, member: 94240"] Winchester would have done so much better to bring out a 6.5 wsm with a 7 or 8 twist or simply throw an 8 twist on the 270 wsm. Come out with a heavy for caliber factory offering and spend a few bucks marketing it the way Hornady has and they’d sold plenty. I think they jumped at a catchy name like “Western” instead of getting to what will really sale. Hornady has great marketing and that’s why the Creeds and PRC lines are selling... coupled with appropriate twist rates. There’s rounds that will fit where the creeds and PRC line is that just wasn’t jazzed up with fancy marketing or simply had an inadequate twist. The 260 Rem is a great round as well as the 6.5 Remington magnum and 264 Winchester magnum. Just needed better twist with the 6.5 Rem mag and 264 win mag. [/QUOTE]
