Believe me, the 375 kicks alot harder than the 338. I've fired both fromtwo stainless model 70's 3 years ago and their is a difference. I'm a big fan of short magnums and I would love to have the 325WSM in a model 70 classic. The whole 8mmexcuseisn't going to work this time, I believe and also by looking at sales, this caliber is here to stay. WSM's are very popular, the 325wsm will do anything a 338 can do and with a few more benefits because of the short action. Just my .02.
