RE: .325 WSM

Loading data, as requested;

Since the .323/8mm is one of the more popular calibers in the world, there isn't any shortage of good bullets to load. Check the top-notch makers, as well as the domestic giants, and you'll find lots of offerings, including plenty of premium quality stuff that will easily handle the "magnum" velocities.
Value of the .325? "Good as any" class elk &moose round, but loading data shows that it can't really run with the more traditional "serious" bear calibers. Almost but not quite the equal of the .338 Win. Mag., but still potentially a great round. It's a shame the market is already so full, as I fear this round is destined to the lack-luster status of one of my other favorites, the .350 Rem. Mag.
