Well since reading comprehension isn’t your strong point. Go re read my post further up the thread. When I said, "As someone mentioned," I was referring to your post. Isn't it ironic? You don't say

My gundoc built 270wsm with a 1:8.5” barrel will be scorching long heavys. I had him start the build before a 6.8 western was published. I think in the 270wsm was the biggest WSM that benefited from WSM chambering but the 1:10 barrel capes it’s peak. But gooch knows more than we do

He's saying he said what you said. When he said to go re-read what he said above, he was saying he said what you said, NOT what you said he said.

Oh please do. I’d be enlightened by your intellectual prowess In my post, I was giving credit to another poster (you) for saying that the 6.8 had a faster twist, I just didn't mention you by name. "As someone (you) mentioned, the 6.8 factory barrels will have a faster twist rate to stabilize longer, heavier bullets." I'm not sure why you took offense to that. I was agreeing with you.

Let me spell this out for you. THE 6.8 WESTERN IS ONLY A 270WSM with a faster barrel. Ummm k. So having a 270wsm built with a faster barrel can save you the expense of special dies and brass ummm k. Drugs are bad ummmm k

My bar tender is killing it tonight. I’m gonna tip her well. If she gets her act right I might even let her cook breakfast in the morning.

The 6.8 Western isn't basically a 270 WSM. As someone mentioned, the 6.8 factory barrels will have a faster twist rate to stabilize longer, heavier bullets. That's a pretty big difference.
I have no experience shooting the 6.8, but if it shoots the 130 grainers well, it could be the death knell for the 270 WSM. Didn’t you mean to say “is basically” instead of “isn’t” ?
