The .325 WSM is a great round especially when you hunt with the Winchester 1885 High Wall Hunter rifle. I am not one to follow the crowd I look for something that I like, its my money why should I follow everyone else? I have been hunting since I was a boy and the .325 drops them in the first shot where they standif you have the right grain bullet. This rifle and round is good enough to hunt anything in North America, and like some one said before I do not think the Deer, Bear, Elk, or hogs are going to know the difference except for the quicker death. I only have 2 rifles now, for the distance shots I use the 1885 HWH.325 and scope, in the thick areas orbush I use my Winchester .444 marlin carbinewith just Iron Sites. I have dropped everythingI have shot at where they stoodon the first shot with these two rifles. I do not think I will buy anything else. Every one at the hunt club always wants to check out my rifles, everybody has a .270 and .300, so if you fancy being different I say find what you like its your money, I love the .325 WSM.
