The nice thing about the 325gr is that the max charge (defined by where accuracy goes away) seems to be velocity-dependent. I could only push the 200SW to 2050 fps accurately (110gr) but can take the 325gr to max charge (135gr) getting 1950 fps and duplicate the smaller bullet's ballistics with twice the energy.

There is a price in recoil but it is not bad. The little 200SW hardly seemed to recoil, it was very comfortable. The 325gr certainly kicks harder but I would say it has not reached the level of my 300WM with 200gr bullets.
