With so many other well proven cartridges I don't see the .325 sticking around much longer either.

The 270 WSM and 300 WSM are doing well as for sales but I would touch the WSSM...

The .270WSM and .300WSM are going down in flames just like the 300winmag and 7mmremmag did.

I would not bet that the 325 WSM will make the cut. However it is a fine performer and probably has more going for it than the 300 WSM which really does not have a real place IMO. It just won't ever be a 300 Win Mag which to me is a superior round. However The 300 Caught on and is doing well.

The proof is we keep talking about it.I think the .300wsm and .270wsm around here are doing well.I know of 6 that got bought just in my family.The .300 is being made in so many platforms that it will be a hard rock to loose.

every body acts like it a new thing. they have been around since the 60's but they tried to do them in long actions in stead of short or single shots

I don't know about the post some of you put here. But I for one think that the WSMs will be around for quite some time. Especially the 300 WSM. As for the 325 WSM - I love mine. A browning Micro Hunter. Scoped and just a tad over 7 lbs its a sweet handling rifle and shoot probably better than I can shoot it. It has shot several 'one ragged hole' 5 shot groups at 100 yds pushing a 200 grain Nosler Accubond at over 2900 fps. In fact, it shoots so well that I am contimplating selling my Ruger 77 MK II 300 Win mag.

The WSM's are a great alternative to the hunting community. The 270WSM and 300WSM will only get more popular as these two tack drivers are being purchased by more and more hunters. I just counted between friends and family, 11 WSM's have been purchase in the last year and a half. According to my local gun dealer/gun shop, the 270 and 300WSM's are selling over some of the traditional calibers. Most guys that want a 270win will end up buying the 270WSM now according to the gun shop. I was alittle suprised at that comment. Same goes for the 300. The 325 is a fine caliber but is not selling like the 270 and 300wsm's. Those two are here to stay and many hunters are choosing them. If you want to get picky, WSM's have a slight edge over traditional mags. Weight, recoil, short action and equivalent ballistics if not alittle better.
