I got into the .325 WSM very soon after it came out as I was considering necking the .338 WM down to 8mm and a factory round made more sense than a wildcat and the big euro 8s are hard to source brass. I have used the .325 WSM with 200 g Swift A frame and 180 g Barnes TSX on whitetail, mule deer, warthog, hartebeest, kudu, gemsbok and eland; very happy with the cartridge. The rifle is a M70 tuned up by Corlane sports in Dawson Creek BC, the boys did a very good job. I also shoot a 8X57 in a late 40s vintage BRNO.
