How much interest do you folks have in this cartridge. We are looking at adding it to our line-up. Also what bullets would you like to see loaded? We are planning on some of the Barnes, Sierra's, Nosler/CTBST's, and of course the V-MAX's.

It's a good round. Would I buy it, no. I already have a 22-250. Now let's talk .25 WSSM. That's something I would be interested in.

25 WSSM whoops the 223's arse. A higher cross sectional area with the pressures and velocities of that round means greater acceleration and in the case of that round, far better velocity. Compare bullets of the same weight between the two rounds. You'll see what I mean. The 25 would probably have lower throat erosion too and thus a longer barrel life.
