I have seen post on other boards with pictures of Winchester's next offerings: a .243 WSSM and a .223 WSSM. I think if you want to build the 6 WSM go for it but the 2 rounds that you compare it to are overbore. I really don't believe you would get much more velocity with the 6 WSM than you would with the WSSM but you would use more powder. Just my thoughts good luck with your project. Sean
