Opinions on winchester model 70 .223wssm
I have a friend selling one of these for cheap. Im not sure whether to trade it in or keep it. I have a 22-250 and 223, what do you guys think about the .223WSSM round? pros and cons?

He is probably selling it for cheap because it isn't worth anything.
Barrel burner. The four WSSMs I have shot (two .223, one .243 which I owned, and one .25) none of them shot anywhere close to as good as their standard length predecessors. Just my experience.

I think the .223 WSSM mimics the .22-250 ballistics, and is going to be a dead cartridge within 5-10years if not already. If you didn't have a .223 already and were getting it at a steal, I'd probably tell you to still not buy it.
