I considered buying one myself a few years ago. It boiled down to a few things:
- lack of success with past 8mm(.323) in NA, which results in limited choices for bullets.(in my area components just aren't lining the shelves & as a reloader I like options/availability.)
- Performance or warranted- not enough over the .300 nor close enough to the .338
- didn't like the gun/platform. (feel or fit)

I opted to pass on the 325, certainly nothing wrong with it and will work for more then the deer/bear. Before you buy check out ammo or component availabilty in your area, that may make the decision for you.

If wanting a wsm personally I'd be looking at either a 270wsm or 300wsm. I think for deer and blackie's, the .270wsm would be a excellent choice. If elk or moose are possibily in your future the 300wsm would be me suggestion.

Good luck
