I know of a place locally that has bags and bags of 223 WSSM. Anyone need any?
Enough already, just shoot it!

There are a lot more ½" rifles than ½" shooters.

What about 243 brass? Picked up some used 223 to neck up a while back, but would be interested in finding some 243 virgin brass.

Well that is good news but I would rather have brass, also. These are great little rifles. My .243 wssm is one handy little rifle with plenty of punch. I guess I'm gonna have to go to my LGS an get back-ordered but its still great news.......Redworm..................

YEP I MISSED THE WSSM IN THE PREVIOUS POST. I SHOOT 223 AND 243 AND COULD NOT IMAGINE THAT THIS WOULD WORK. IT INDEED WILL WORK WITH THE WSSM. OR SO A BRIEF SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SAYS. SORRY FELLAS.

Trying to to make .243 wssm out of .243 win wouldn't work anyway. The parent case for .243 wssm is 300 wsm compared to .308 for .243 win...............Redworm........

All of you WSSM owners will be glad to know Winchester will start manufacturing the ammo in February. Unless the purchased a facility I don't know about, they don't manufacture any brass. That is all put out on a Least-cost bid. Recent Win branded brass was coming out of IMI, from what I am aware of.

If they make some brass I'd be tempted to buy a couple hundred and buy a 25wssm. That little round is pretty cool!
