325wsm

[skeet]

Scalerman. I have no issues with the caliber. They shoot well from what I have seen. We kinda wrung one out at the range last year here at Cody. It shot fine..Kicked a little in the Winchester rifle which was a bit light...for a mag caliber. It should be a fine round for you. It is certainly going to pot your elk with aplomb I think. And of course even if it is discontinued by the factories ammo will still be made for a number of years. I've shot quite a few different calibers over the years. Nowhere near as many as Petey and some of those guys back east. My only wildcats being some AIs and the 35 Whelen and 25-06s(not wildcats anymore of course). My only critical point on the 325 is like many calibers out there it is somewhat extraneous. Meaning if it weren't for the factories needing something new to sell...it would not exist. The same caliber is covered very finely by the 8MM Rem Mag...no big seller in it's own right. I happened to have had to try one of them also..Very powerful... Kill anything on the continent. But like the 325..kind of extraneous. I had a 340 Weatherby also..Thank you Jesus...I lived through that one too. I decided that the 338 Win Mag was more than enough for me. As stated..more and better bullets available..(good no... GREAT)ammo much easier to find. Less recoil than the 8 or 340 and cheaper to shoot. I shot a few rounds out of a 340 yesterday. Friend's Weatherby and that rifle will shoot. But oh my..it is a little violent. We also shot his 257 Weatherby I talked him into buying last month at a gun show(he got it cheap). I went to his place cause he needed some reloading bullets and he had a new Forster Co-Ax press I wanted. He has a 100 and 200 yd range with a bench set up in his garage. The 325 should be a good caliber for you..and not so hard to shoot. Have fun with it. But like my friend and I felt talking about the 325 yesterday ..remember if you ever try to sell it in the future..It will probably be harder to sell...especially if discontinued by the factories. BTW I also like the single shots. Have fun with it.
