Hornady is bringing back two cartridges that were way ahead of their time: the .223 WSSM and .243 WSSM.
Built with short, fat cases, they deliver magnum-like speed in a compact, short-action rifle – perfect for modern predator and long-range hunters.
Why it matters:
Short, wide cases burn powder more efficiently
Higher FPS in shorter barrels (great for suppressed rifles)
More consistent pressures = better accuracy
Ideal for heavy, high-BC bullets
Bonus for reloaders:
Hornady’s move means new-production brass is finally back! Reloaders can now take full advantage of these underrated rounds with modern powders and bullet designs.
Whether you’re chasing coyotes at distance or just want something different that hits hard and flat – WSSM is officially back.
