The 6.8 Westerner's New Design, should have been, a LONGER, Necked, 7MM WSM+P+ ( 1-8 Twist ) round and then, we'd have, a real,.. "Winner" !
Put it in, a midsized to Long Action ( TIKKA Sized, W/ correct Magazine length, like IT SHOULD have been, 20 years, ago) and THEN,.. "Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner" ! Once again, the Winchester Engineers,.. "Muffed it" !
But, we can build, a 7 Sherman Short, 7-.270 WSM, or, 7 SAUM, to DO, what's,. really, NEEDED !
SORRY, but the 6.8 Western, doesn't Impress, me and, the 7MM Rem Mag. "choice", is BETTER !
