So, some guy going out west will grab his 270 WSM and a few boxes of the new 6.8 Westerner rounds. Wonder how badly the case rupture will be? The Western won't fit in the WSM cause it has a longer C.O.A.L at 2.955." Looking at the SAAMI specs, the Western has the shoulder set back a few thou with no other changes that I see. Since the minimum Western COAL is less than the maximum WSM COAL, I see no reason why some Western loads would not fit in a WSM chamber.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
