When the 325 came out I thought it would be an ideal elk gun, short action larger bullet diameter but not bad on recoil. At the time my 7mm RM was what I used for deer& elk. Since then I acquired a 300 Weatherby & it is my go to elk gun. The 325 would be a step back in my opinion. I get asked about elk rifles regularly & the 325 never occurs to me. Not because it isn’t a good choice but that it isn’t as readily available as the 300WSM that I think is great way to go for dedicated elk or all purpose hunting rifle.
