Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 325 wsm or another 338 win mag

I find that as I get older my taste in rifles and cartridges is changing. Years ago, everything was heavy barreled bean-field rifles, mostly blue steel and wood, magnums and high magnification scopes. These days, not so much.

I won�t even begin to compare/contrast the 325 WSM with the 338 Win Mag. However, after loading and shooting rifles in about 50 chamberings between 17 ackley hornet and 458 Lott, I do like the 325 WSM. And it's a good enough excuse to own one more rifle.

Hunting mostly in Texas, most of the stuff I shoot is 300 lbs. or under. The Nosler CS in 325 has become my go to hoglet whacker.

Particularly at dark-thirty when I especially want them DRT and no tracking. I�ve set it up with a Leupold with illuminated reticle and use an XLR 250 kill light.



Nosler Model 48 Custom Sporter, 325 WSM



I load it with the 180 gr. Nolser Ballistic tips over 62 Gr. W-760 for a MV of 2,850 fps.
Mild load, but I've found that MV's of 2800 fps. or less don't tend to tear up as much meat, and I'm a meat hunter.
