[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3686516, member: 33119"] The 6.8 is an interesting round but I’m afraid it my go the same direction the WSM’s have gone, which by the way were also a Browning/Winchester joint venture. In my opinion all Browning and Winchester needed to do for their WSM chamberings was manufacture their barrels with slightly faster twist rates, 1:8/1:8.5 for 7mm & 270 and 1:11 for the 30 cal. Now they come out with a slightly different case design faster twist barrels and call it a 6.8 Western. This begs the question as to why you couldn’t load theses new bullets into the old 270wsm with a faster twist barrel and accomplish basically the same and possibly more than the 6.8 Western. [/QUOTE]
