Default RE: .325 WSM

Here is a qoute from guns and ammo about hunting with the .325 WSM:

"Remarkably, all our elk died at the first hit, though shot angles varied and distances ranged from 180 to 260 yards. Sure, the .325 is powerful. But elk are tough, and a five-for-five score shows this round to be as deadly as any you can carry. Besides the AccuBond CT bullet that we used, initial loadings include a 180-grain Ballistic Silvertip, also under Winchester's Supreme label. In Super-X boxes you'll find a 220-grain Power-Point. The chart shows that this cartridge not only delivers .338 Magnum punch, it shoots as flat as long-range deer rounds like the .270 and 7mm Rem. Mag. The three loads also trace nearly identical arcs at long range and cross the 400-yard mark at nearly the same speed, so you should be able to vary factory .325 ammo without noticeable shifts in point of impact. Of course, you're smart to fire at long range with every hunting load to confirm that."

Here is the link for thefull story, the 3rd page has the ballistics chart: http://www.gunsandammomag.com/ammunition/number_072605/index.html
