I think winchester is retarded for making this cartridge. I take back what i said if 325 does not mean exact bullet diamter and it fires a .323 caliber bullet or 8mm. If it does not fire 8mm bullets then what bullet do you use to reload for it. Please correct me if i am wrong and it does shoot 8mm. I dont really understand the whole short magnum craze, the only one that i would buy is the 270 wsm which is going to be my next gun.
