i was envolved in the wsm craze when the calibers were first introduced.

i grabbed 270wsm in featherweight as fast as i could. i loaded 140gr nos bts and began the find that wsm case was finicky and the winchester rifle was nothing to speak of. it actualy had problems and had to be sent back to factory.

ever since ive found the 270win burns less powder and flys right there with wsm within 100 fps. im loading 110gr tipped triple shocks and loveing it.

on a side note im loading a freinds 270wsm with the same 110 tipped triple shock and its not impressing me at all. cases are finicky and it seeing pressure signs before book max. it may not even shoot with the 270win not sure why this rifle sees pressure sings. so soon but ohhwell.


i also love the 260 ive realy takn a liking to all 6.5 calibers the 6.5x284 seem to be the cream of the crop.

and i just this year used a 220 swift with a 53 gr tripple shock to take my dear, the load worked so well im thinkning my kids may be hunting with a compact 22/250 pushn 53gr triple shocks ounce they get big enough. i feel there is no replacement for being able to precisly place your shots. and i dont want my kids getn a flinch from 270s and 06s the biggest ill consider for them is 243. and 85gr triopple shocks.

ohhhhhh

with the tripple shocks comeing onto the seen there turning more small calibers into solid deer rifles and mid size calibers into pretty big big game rifles.

now the 22s are cleanly killing deer and the 25s are takn elk.

its kinda cool.


othere new calibers, cant think of any other than the wssm, the super shorts are neat i kinda wish theyd off came out and we never saw the wsm case.
