Guest ronin Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Re: Please tell me they make it. I have a Browning A-Bolt in 243 WSSM and I really like it a lot. Very short, light and comfortable rifle. It has taken two hogs and a deer this year. I really like the whole WSSM concept. The cartridges seem to perform extremely well.

snapper Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Re: Please tell me they make it. I don't know of any .223, .243 in a WSM....just WSSM. BTW, they also make a .25WSSM. I dropped two deer with it this year shooting 115 grain bullets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Re: Please tell me they make it. You will find that a 223 or 243 WSM would not give any benefit over a 223 or 243 WSSM. You can only burn so much powder in a given bore size. If you want a long range ground hog gun, another one to look at is the 240 Weatherby Mag. Its basically a commercial version of a 6mm-06 or a 243 WSSM. I shoot a 6mm-06 Ackley Improved for my long range (500+ yards) varmint gun. If you literally want to shoot a mile, you will need a custom gun and something a lot bigger than the 6mm. Guns in the 7mm STW chambering are popular for ultra long range varminting.
