Watched a competitor fire in our state matches this weekend. 3 days of shooting which meant appx 200 rounds fired or so.
Never saw him have a hangup in rapid fire strings which was more than I can say for others with 223s....
I"m sure that everything must be right on them just as it has to be with a 223 upper though.

should have added, 243wssm.

Feed and function on the WSSM's is very reliable. I have shot thousands of rounds through all three of the WSSM's and when there is a feed and fuction problem, it's normally a hand-loading issue. The brass is about twice as thick as a normal case. Couple that with the huge diameter, and you have a challenging case to re-size.
The key to the reliability is the fact that they feed from both feed-lips on the magazine. There is no where for the case to go. By the time the bolt has pushed the case out of the feed-lips, the bullet and neck are already in the chamber.
There is a very fine line between "Hobby" and "Mental illness"
