Unite AND contact Olin's management. If you go to www.olin.com, there is a contact form at the top of the "contact us" page. Please use that form to ask for a seasonal run of WSSM ammo and brass, so that scalpers won't have an open season on WSSM owners.

They should have made a 6.5 WSSM.

There will be a meeting of all owners in the phone booth at 6th and Main next Tuesday at 9:00 AM. 
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

50 WSSM now that I'd buy! Be careful what you wish for, as B&M's 50 Super Short Magnum exists and if you have a Winchester/USRA 70 WSSM action and around $1K, SSK will build a B&M Super Short in .458", .475", or .500" bore for you. www.b-mriflesandcartridges.comOr, you could simplify your life and just do a WSSM in 500 S&W.

That 475 always tempted me. Being able to use the 480 Ruger bullets or some of the 470 Nitro bullets made it actually semi-practical. I think Michael had really good results using the Speer Gold Dots in that little gun.

well I don't need a WSSM but the link is useful. I need some .218 Bee brass.

I asked the guy at Winchester/Olin who I spoke to yesterday if they could run ammo and brass for the following:
218 Bee, 219 Zipper, 223 WSSM, 225 Win, 243 WSSM, 256 Win Mag, 25-35 Win, 25 Rem, 250 Sav, 257 Roberts, 25 WSSM, 30 Rem, 303 Sav, 307 Win, 303 British, 32-40, 348 Win, 356 Win, 358 Win, and 38-55.
He said that the WSSMs were in the production queue starting in March 2016, but he didn't say anything about any of the other cartridges.

The 375 Win is too long for either the Browning or Winchester/USRA WSSM actions.

what is the address of the wsssmzone? A few years ago, www.wssmzone.com, was THE place for WSSM shooters to share WSSM information, but it no longer exists.
