Whether you shoot it or not, I don't see the value changing.


As to the thread title, I like the 325 WSM cartridge. I like 8mm's and short actions. The 325 does that combination just fine for me.


I got over the "it ain't a 338" long ago. I agree it is not a .338. These days, I don't see that as a negative. I still have, plenty of 338 Winchesters.

.308, .323, .338; fits directly in the middle of diameters.

I don't see the 300 mags having much advantage at 300 yards and under distances.
