Sales in this round are big flops and I wouldn't waste my money buying one. There are plenty of win mod 70's on the market if that tells you anything. Get a .223 or better yet a 22.250. You will be much happier. Ammo for the .223wssw is going to be hard to find in the near future; believe me. BTW welcome to the forum!!

I agree. Just another solution to a problem no one had.

I like the round but it is not selling very well. There was a artical in guns and ammo about this round and the guy was pushing a 40 grain vmax up to 4500 fps. That is smoking !!!!! I really think it is going to fail in the market place. And that is to bad, it would be fun to play with some reloads. You could also try a .220 swift !

That is another interesting area for those rounds. If they could fix the feeding problems it would be cool to see them in a 7400, BAR or even a AR15.
