A good friend of mine owns a Kimber in .325. I own a Win. 70 in .338. We have both shot each other's guns and both feel that the recoil from the .338 is just a touch stouter than the .325. As has been said previously, this felt recoil is SO subjective to things as different bullet weights, velocities, stock design, recoil pads, etc. that it can be hard to give a definitive answer that will satisfy everyone. In my mind, if you can handle the recoil effectively with one, you will be able to handle it with the other.

Now if they just built the .325 in a .338, I might have to have one of those! As a little btother to my .340

There's nothing wrong with the .325WSM accept brass or ammo availability in the future. You will be able to find 8mm bullets till the Second Coming ,brass I think not.I have a FN Browning Safari in .308 Norma Mag that I kept because it is a shooter ,I can get.30 cal bullets forever and I can make my own brass from .300 H+H or FL sizing .338 brass.Why buy expensive Norma factory @ $60 a box?If you like it use it [hoard brass]but to me it's impractical.............no offence intended..................Harold
