Simple question, since the .17WSM is so good, do you think they'll develop a .22WSM?
And there's that. Remington diddled their pooch the same way cutting corners and putting out arms and ammo with poor QC with nothing but $$ as their goal. sad!I sort of doubt Winchester will be doing any more new cartridges for a while. FN seems to be a lot more conservative this way then Winchester was prior.... And never mind that the last few Winchester cartridge roll outs over the last 30 years have been unmitigated train wrecks.
I think what they need to do is continue to build their reputation back up as a maker of fine firearms so people will take them seriously again. They managed to do an amazing job of ruining perhaps the finest name in American firearms with their combination of horrible quality and atrocious new product roll outs...
Same questions as above.That's why we were thinking of using the .22 mag case dia. & keep the same receiver size, just make a 1.25 overall case length. Not a necked down .27 case.
The RPR already has a 3" bolt throw option to mimic it's large bore cousin.
No, no, no.That is our reasoning behind using the Ruger RPR Platform.
It should almost be as simple as,
1- A new Barrel in say 24" to 26"
2- A New Clip
Being you have enough throw in the bolt to handle the new 1.25" case length.
Now if only someone from Ruger see's this Thread.
Who Knows what could come about!
Next would be CCI, Hornady or Cutting Edge's new ELR in .22WSM jumping
in on this Cartridge.

I would do a .20 WSM rimfire. Then a more powerful .20 Vartarg centerfire. Wish Tikka, Sako, Mossberg, or another newbie would co-opt a cartridge the way Ruger did with .204 and Savage with the .17 WSM..17HMR VS .17WSM? Niche Market !
.22MAG VS .22WSM? Niche Market !!
O.K then is your .20 WSM a Rimfire or Centerfire?
Not sure I'm understanding.Dip below 223 and it's niche all the way down to 22lr, heck the 17hmr has only recently gone mainstream within the last 5-10 years.
Definitely like the rimfire sentiment. Anything to not reload those tiny case mouths, or have brass that needs to be chased down.
