I've had good luck with the 200 gr Accubonds in my 325. Also with 220 gr Sierras. While working up loads with the Accubonds and the Barnes TSX 200 grainers, both were shooting neck and neck until I started getting up closer to max. As I increased powder the Barnes' accuracy started to drop off considerably while the Noslers just kept getting better. Right now out of my Browning Micro Hunter with its short barrel, I'm getting right around 2900 fps with the 200 gr Accubonds with exceptional accuracy and using RL22 powder. Not sure but I believe the charge is 68 grs - but don't quote me.
Of course, out of this little rifle (7 Lb with scope) - it does let you know when it goes off. But its no worse than my guide gun in 45-70 with stout loads.

By the sounds of itI'll be working with the 325wsm in the coming monthsand no clue...so thanks for your reply. Have you used it on game yet? If so what bullet and how did it perform?
Thanks again

Well I took it out to WY this year for elk but never dropped the hammer. I just couldn't find a bull to my liking. My guide told me he had one hunter shoot a huge bull with the 325 at 275 yds and he said the bull just folded. But you can't judge a cartridge by one animal. But I have no doubt as to how it will perform given the chance. I am thinking about taking it for black bear but I hate to leave my guide gun behind it been so luck for me.
