[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 2029706, member: 103996"] I mean they had to call it something. If they call it WSM it would be too confusing. And what else would they call it? 270 Winchester! Already taken as well. 270 magnum? Not really very magnum compared to a weatherby or nosler round. 6.8 Winchester? I don’t think that would be confusing but 6.8 western isn’t a bad name by any means. All I can hope for is that they have an adequate twist rate for the heaviest bullets possible. Preferably 175-190gr, and then sell a 175-190 grain bullet or work with a manufacturer that will like nosler or Berger. If .284 can have a 195 grain, having 190 for only a .007 difference is pretty reasonable and should have a great BC. [/QUOTE]
