JLG Report post Posted April 22, 2009 Thanks Elkaholic, he has been bidding on one but hasn't hit the reserve yet. Thought I would try to help him find one locally. For a while now I have been seriously thinking about 223 WSSM, I am thinking that would be an awesome little round, Thanks for responding, JLG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it to be the Winchester Shadow syn stock, RCBS dies, rings, bases. If your interested send me a pm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kilimanjaro Report post Posted April 28, 2009 The .223WSSM is a great little round (as long as the wind isn't howling).. I had one for awhile and took this 2005 goat with it.. And borrowed my buddy's .223WSSM (wanted to try his out) to smack this little 2005 36C coues buck from 300 yards.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couzer Report post Posted April 28, 2009 Wow thats a nice goat! and buck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLG Report post Posted April 29, 2009 Guys, Thanks for the responses. Jimmy you don't need my 25WSSM, you have your 300 WSM. ScottyBoy those are sweet pics. How far were the shots you made, that antelope is a beast. I was reading the .223 WSSM is the fastest .223 on earth. To the guys that have them or have had them what is your impression of them? I really like my 25 WSSM, I guess a wiser choice would have been a .25-06, because of the cost and availability of ammo, but when you show someone a nickel plated Nosler Ballistic Tip in black and gray, their always like what is it and that's cool. We killed 3 coues and one javelina with it, since last Dec. everybody likes carrying at about 7 pounds. I think a .223 WSSM would make a nice companion gun, Take Care, JLG.

Kilimanjaro Report post Posted April 29, 2009 JLG, I shot the goat at around 350 yds.. the coues was at around 295, if I remember correctly..The gun I shot the coues with was a buddy of mines.. The next day I watched him punch a hole through a 95" coues buck from 396 yards away.. He took 2 steps and tipped over. Sweet shooting little rig for sure!!

Couzer Report post Posted April 29, 2009 I think for me I just had to get the twist ratio with the weight right for the .223 wssm, other than that it shoots great. I bought it and sent it back to winchester, they ended up sending a new rifle. Groups really good now, and very accurate rifle. But I have more fun with my others so I don't shoot it anymore. my 2 cents Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
