RE: 338wm vs 325WSM
Nothing agains the .325 wsm but I would go with the .338 win mag for the fact of more ammo availbilty plus you can step up to 250 gr in the .338 win mag.
The only reason I would look at the .325 wsm is it compact package in something like a Browning BLR or a Micro Hunter,but since thats not a issue I would take a 26 in. barrled bolt .338 win mag..If he could fine a Sako or a Tikka hunter that would be a fine rifle.Top it off witha 2-7 or 3.5-10 varible now that would make a fine elk/moose/bear rifle.
