When will I be able to buy the 6.8 western?

Ok maybe not a thing of beauty, but it works pretty good!
 
tell me how a 2.86" 9.5 twist 7wsm is better than a 2.955" 7.5 twist 6.8?

I will tell you how a 7.5 twist 2.955" 7 WSM is better than the 6.8... folks can build whatever their imagination settles on. Personally wouldn't go with the 7.5 twist anyway, I'm not preoccupied with shooting knitting needles.
 
I'm thinking a 6.8 Western loaded with 95gr TTSX or 110gr Accubonds in a 1-10" twist 12.5" - 14" barreled Rem 700 short action rifle would be freaking awesome.
 
I might trade my. 270 WSM for a 6.8 Western, if said 6.8 was chambered in a l brand new Winchester Model 70 extreme weather (stainless/McMillan stock) and it came with $500 and a few hundred pieces of brass...

A 6.8 Western in an M70 Extreme Weather would be a dandy rifle... but then, so is your .270 WSM.
 
It's funny how when the 270 WSM was introduced almost 20 years ago everyone was yelling "A new 270? Meh, who needs it? Better stock up on brass, it won't be here for long" and now when discussing another new cartridge people are talking about how the WSM is better and has easy to obtain brass.

You'll probably wet yourself when Nutters start comparing new stuff to the Creedmoor.

For giggles I went back as far as I could on this forum, 2005; nobody was saying that about the WSM's.

It was more like "I love my 270 WSM"

Wow, in less than 30 minutes you read every single post about WSM's. That's impressive. Laugh2

300WSM arrived in 2001 followed by the 270WSM in 2002. The internet was full of people saying exactly what I said.
