.325 WSM
Does anyone know how the sales are going with this cartridge, or how does anyone actually have one and have any experience with it?

RE: .325 WSM
The sales in our area are pretty decent considering the number of options people have anymore. Man if a guy can't find a size and shape of cartridge he likes these days, he is to picky.:D. I almost bought one when they first came out but couldn't really dream up a need for it.

I also want one even though I really don't have a need for one. From the looks of the ballastics it would be great for elk or similar sized game. It seems anything you would use a .300 or .338 for it would be a good alternative.

RE: .325 WSM
I can see no advantage the .325 WSM holds over the .338 Win Mag, and please don't say handier rifle or any of that.

RE: .325 WSM
Well I know of one happy customer. My browning Micro Hunter (LH) is doing just fine. It shoots the Nosler Accubond 200 gr bullets extremely well (handloads; 68 gr of RL19 and Rem 9 1/2M primers). The Barnes 200 gr TSX were shooting fine until I got too close to max. then they began shooting erratic while the Noslers just got tighter. This cartridge in this 7 lb rifle with scope however is not for those who are sensitive to recoil. Although extremely accurate, it does get your attention when it goes off. And although it does not have any advantage over the .338, I'm going to keep mine. And I don't think an elk, bear or deer will ever notice the difference.

RE: .325 WSM
ORIGINAL: cma3366a The WSM's a great rounds for hunters and shooters just coming into the market for a rifle in any of their respective classes. Lighter rifles are one added plus, but the real advantages come when you start to reload. Case walls are THICK, this allong with minimal taper and steeper shoulders makes for long brass life, much longer than their belted counterparts. I Have a .300WSM and have had very good luck with it, I would have gone .325 if it was out when I bought my rifle. Sales of rifles in .325 in my area are low, but that is mainly because there is no game requiring such a chambering anywhere locally. The .270 is the hottest seller followed by the .300. you sure did bite right into that .300 WSM, which any knowledgable shooter or hunter will tell you, is a waste of money |
RE: .325 WSM
Would someone post some data on the 325 WSM? I don't have it in any of my books or catalogs.
