It would be hard to walk by our wives with a straight face, a hid checkbook, and the simple message, """""just going to run into town for a minute"""""

For guys that like something modern and different there is the 325WSM. An interesting cartridge, mine shoots well, but the 358 is still my favorite. If I had to choose one it would be between the 325 WSM and the 358.

Winchester had found when loaded with .33 caliber bullets the WSM resulted in the loss of performance and settled for the 8mm caliber instead. Winchester determined that the .32 caliber was the largest caliber that provided a “magnum” level of performance in the WSM case.

As far as the old Win's, they were indeed Specials, often enough referred to as Deluxe so as to be commonly called such, much like the Model 12 3" Super X being call a Heavy Duck gun. Picked up several over the years at auctions when people complained to the Auctioneer that it wasn't a Heavy Duck gun because it wasn't stamped so thus bids were far and few, good for me but not the seller.
