The WOA bumps the shoulder back and uses a 30 degree vs the 6X6.8 the only sizes the neck retaining the original 23 degree shoulder. The case volume is only slightly less on the WOA. The 6X6.8 is formed up with the one step dies or the standard 6.8 bushing dies that many of us have and can use for all the 6.8 variants that retain the standard shoulder angle and height like the 22, 6MM, 25 and 6.5 versions.
Fire forming is needed for 100% capacity usage on the WOA though the formed cases shoot perfectly well and will perform without any issues. No trimming is done on either case.
