Hey just thinking. Wondering if any of you guys have done a 243 wssm in a R700 or custom action?

What mags, etc? Did you get it to feed ok?

i have one in the Winchester WSSM action, ER shaw barrel, stock stock. blind magazine. It feeds well and loves 105 AMAX. far from custom but a tack driver none the less.

the thing with the wssm is the length and finding a mag that will feed it besides the stock winchester, you will almost have to get something custom to make it work, if you can find a wssm action i would go with that but good luck finding mags.

Are you saying that WSSM rounds will not feed from a WSM magazine? Have wodered about this before, and it seemed like they should.

I still do not see the benefit of the WSSM. If you don't reload you pay 3x the price for ammo that maybe gives you 150-200fps. If you do reload you can cut that number in half using the regular cartridge. I think they are a gimmick that will not survive.
