Thanks for the comments. I have done very little shooting with any fast cartridges; I had a 22-250 Win but the accuracy was much less than what I should have gotten. So, rather than get it reworked, I sold it off.

Search engines pull up info on shooters with WSSM's in kind of a convoluted manner... but after seeing what is reported, between feeding problems and barrel recalls, I will have to set it aside as a prospective buy. Looks like Winchester and Browing put these rifles out way too fast. Problems like that could end whatever chance these have of becoming a viable market item.

Yeah, but the marketing people have hyped them so well, the country is full of suckers who are running out to buy them, before they get the facts! Remember Herter's, Inc.?? ALWAYS FIRST WITH EVERYTHING NEW!!?? Same with these cartridges! I guess the gun companies have to keep reinventing the wheel to stay in business!
