Is there any published balistics for the .223 wsm or the .243 wsm? I am interested in a 243 wsm. I am very excited about the 55 gr offering in the 243 but I have never had any luck with the 60 gr load in the reg 243. Will that 55 gr load be accurate in the 243?

  i shoot the 55 gr nosler balistic tip in a the in the old 243 win with very good results getting about according to reload manual right at 4000 fps "my barrel is two inches longer than test barrel in reloading book so fps should be at least what books says i need to get a chronogragh though. i have shot several coyotes at 300+ yds they hit the ground dead as a hammer....they are very fast and flat shooting and also all my 243s shoot these very well less than .5moa including oner that i got that shoot like crap other wise.
  i am going to build a 243 ackley improved in the near future.....as far as the 223 and 243 wssm i have not seen a data on them yet and dont know where to find it.
