While I do not own a 325 I do own and love an old 700 bdl in 8 rem mag. I think the 325 would be an absolutely top of the line elk slayer. Ballistics between the two or close enough no game animal would ever be able to tell the difference between them. Your 325 would be a shorter/lighter rifle than mine and I’ve hauled mine up several mountains and lived to tell about it. Although I never managed to shoot at an elk with my 8 mag, it has killed game from bobcats to eland and nothing has required a second shot. I’ve always used 180 or 200TSX and they have been pretty much perfect. I’m not sure if Sierra still makes their 220btsp but if you felt you needed a “long range” bullet but I’m sure that one would fill the bill. As mentioned, there aren’t 734 bullets to choose from but there are enough good ones to do anything you’d need to do with a 325. Good luck and I hope you get it!
