Just wondering if anyone has tried the 25 WSSM in a short barrel. I've always wanted to convert my .243 Striker. Any thoughts ? What exactly would have to be done. New bolt face ? I don't really care about the mag. I'd be fine with single shot. I'm partial to the .25's so any other cartridge suggestions are welcome! Thanks folks!
Why not a 250 Savage or a 250AI? Decent speed, mild recoil, cheap brass (just neck up 22-250 brass), and dies are readily available. All you'd have to do is rebarrel, your mag and bolt face should work fine.
To change your gun to a WSSM you would have to rebarrel (of course) and find a left hand .532" Bolt Head for a Short Action. Don't know how easy or hard that would be, never looked for one.
Just my $0.02 and $0.02 ain't worth much :)

Thanks for the reply. Am I correct in assuming the 250's are close in ballistics to the WSSM?
How about a 25-06AI. Same bolt head as the .243. I bet that would have some stank on it from a pistol.
No not so much, a little lighter duty. Still a nice cofortable 25 cal to shoot and depending on your needs should do very well up through deer sized game. 250AI would be comparable to your 243 give or take.Originally Posted by miggy41mag
A 25-06 or 25-06 AI would be a nice little hand cannon round with great performance, but you would definatly have a single shot with that and probably with the 25 WSSM. You may want a brake with this one.
