Default RE: 223, 243 & 25 WSSM cartridges

The gun stores around here have the WSSM's for sale at deep discounts. The problem is that they don't really offer much that isn't already out there. The .223 offers .220 Swift velocities, which is good, but who cares about action length in a varmint round? The .243 WSSM's performanceis matched by the 6mm Remington,and almost equaled by the traditional .243. The .25WSSM does bring new performance to quarter bores that isn't equalled by any but the .25-06 (excluding the .257 Weatherby). It would appear to have the brightest future, but it is also plagued by the feeding problems.
