    Please explain to the uninformed (me) why a smaller primer is better in 308.

    Don't know if I agree with it as of yet, but it is claimed.

    Let's see if I've got this right. Smaller is better. Interesting concept.

    I wish that someone would read that they were going to make WSM brass. ;D

    Guess that's wishing for too much.

    That's great news on the 22-250 brass! Looks like they say it'll be avail 2nd quarter of next year, that gives me until June to get the new brass doped up before the dog fields open up in AZ. Sweet!

    Hopefully it's cheaper than the 6.5x284 brass...
