I was looking at a 223 wssm abolt that is new but old stock with a decent price on the weekend. The gun is nice and light and I like the look of it but I have not heard much good about the wssm cartridges. I have a 22-250 that I would like to retire to more occasional use and am thinking that this might be a decent replacement but not if they are plagued with accuracy problems. I can deal with somewhat shorter barrel life and am not to worried about feeding issues but if they are innaccurate I am not interested.
What experiance has anyone had with this cartridge rifle combo?
Any accuracy problems for a sporting rifle would likely be due to the rifle, or the shooter, and not the cartridge.
As long as you realise it is likely a handloading only preposition, then you should enjoy it. The ballistics info available makes it out to be a real screamer.

I picked one up myself. Nice and light and will use as a back up coyote rifle this winter. Go to a varminter forum and they speak very highly of the accuracy of the Browning, not so much with the Winchester. The Browning has a chrome lined barrel and thru testing it was supposed last just as long as a 22-250. Feeding problems with the Browning clip hasnt been a problem for me but possibly with the Winchester as i dont think they used a clip. Buy it and own the fastest 22 cal out there. I bought a new Bell and Carlson stock for mine as i found the original one too short for me. Lots of ammo and empty brass currently available but i stocked up on a 1000 empty brass just in case.
223 wssm???
