WSM Takeover

[highdrum]

I'm building a 270WSM now on a long action Kelbly Lite with 200 freebore. Using the Hawkins Hunter bottom metal with the 300PRC Hunter mag with spacer kit. Will make for nice clean setup and feeding.
Have both Norma and Nosler head stamped brass for it already. Will be nice to have another option for WSM brass though. I also own two 300WSMs and a 7mmWSM as well. All are great shooters.

ADG is running 270wsm this year.

That would be perfect for the 6.5 WSM

Did you confirm this? That's the first I heard of that! That would be great news.

What bullets and ballistics do you feel/know that didn't work for the 375 wsm? As I've been working on a 375 wsm for one on an Ar10 platform still have load data that gave good performance

We used all Sierra bullets at the time, 270g & 300g, used Speer, both flat base and boattail in many weights, the only bullet that appeared to be good velocity wise was the 235g semi spitzer, and the only powders suitable back then were either H4350 or 760. We were going to try 748, but it was crap in the 35 cal version so we didn't test it. There is far more powders to choose from now, RE17 would be a good choice if you can find it.

Cheers.

I think sometimes we think the hunting demand is equivalent to the competition demand. 6gt has gained a lot of steam in the competition world and also starting to see lots of varmit/coyote hunters running the GT as well. Alpha is currently the only manufacturer and it never stays in stock. I know alpha is expanding the GT line as well with 25gt.

where did you hear about the 25 GT brass being made by Alpha

Thank you, so we now have a new source for 270 WSM brass.

 

[JAYgs8163]

Yup. Hopefully by the end of the year we see it.

That is interesting, I just spoke to Andrew last week and asked if they had any new developments or cartridges and he didn't mention it.

Can't say I spoke with Andrew directly, but whom ever runs their instagram page told me "we are coming with native 25GT brass"
This was on December 31st.

I'm so happy to see 6.8 Western. I'm gonna snatch up a couple boxes when they come out.
