For sure nobody wants to go first haha.That's kinda crappy. lol. It seems like if there was quality brass more rifles would be bought/built. Since they are part of the industry. Haha

Going through all the r&d to create brass and have the cartridge go to the wayside, like so many, is the issue. My gut is the cartridge is here to stay.That's kinda crappy. lol. It seems like if there was quality brass more rifles would be bought/built. Since they are part of the industry. Haha
I get it. I just think if companies like Peterson started producing components for it, it'd see more success than if they didn't. I know they'd rather see it be successful first but, I think major component companies definitely play a roll in a cartridge's possible longevity.Going through all the r&d to create brass and have the cartridge go to the wayside, like so many, is the issue.

On that note, the ultimate gamble had to be what Norma did with their .358 magnum (which I have and adore) - but it didn't really pay off! Winchester's .338 mag and the established and unmovable popularity of the .375 Hh made it redundant and obsolete over time.I get it.

I really hope the include the 7 WSM in the "all WSM" as stated above. It's an excellent round. I'm stuck with the Hornady brass I have for it for now.I compiled a list of brass that people have requested and sent it to Peterson. Some of it is brass that Peterson does not make. I called it the wish list. Here is the response that I got.
Wish list:
All the wsm's, particularly the 300wsm - this will be available later this year
6mm ARC - this will be exclusive through a Giessele for the first 3 years. They partnered in the projected and funded the caliber development.
7stw - I dont believe this will be made by us. likelihood is low.
6.5 SAUM - there is potential for this once we get the WSM fully developed. That being said, I dont see us doing it in the next few year.
22-250 - there is potential for this caliber. It would be limited but not in the next few years.
25-06 - there is potential for this caliber. It would be limited but not in the next few years.
223 -- I dont believe this will be made by us. likelihood is low.
30-378 -- I dont believe this will be made by us. likelihood is low.
220 swift -- I dont believe this will be made by us. likelihood is low.
6.8 Western - this has been discussed. we are waiting to see the industry show more support.
ADG is making brass for 6.8W this year. Maybe will kick off some other 3rd party folks to pick it up. Hopefully Peterson will see the light and join themFor sure nobody wants to go first
I checked into that about six months ago as well. I ended up buying 270 Weatherby from them and just running it through my 257 dieI have a small update that may be of interest. I just asked Peterson about 257 Weatherby brass. They responded today and said that they last ran it in 2022. And, it's NOT on the calendar for 2024.
That'll still work much slicker than forming it from .264 win mag or 7 rem mag. Good stuff.I checked into that about six months ago as well. I ended up buying 270 Weatherby from them and just running it through my 257 die
I can't say crappy because it doesn't impact me at all, but I find it odd considering they're already bought into 22 creed, 25 creed, and both the 6.5 and 338 rpm. Nevermind all the obscure Nosler and Weatherby stuff. How many 33 noslers will ever exist in the universe compared to the 6.8s already? Not a complaint, I got no horse in this race, it's just... funny I guess. Both 284 variants, both 280 variants, but 25-06 is still years out? All those Normas but the WSMs were too much before now? Of course there's a chicken-egg paradox to confront, but they're obviously no stranger to creating a market to be supportive of.That's kinda crappy. lol.

Steve, I've been thinking of trying their SRP 6.5CM stuff, have you heard many opinions on small primers and Hammers playing well together? Specifically and light for caliber hammers or absolutes? I just worry gentle ignition and slippery pills might be self-defeating, even though I've had great success with regular LRP vs MagLRP in short mags.
