325 wsm. - Browning A-Bolt

Question

Has anyone shot this calibre, what are there thoughts about it. Most people say it is a really good rifle better then the 338. and the 300. wm and 300. wsm. I dont want a gun with too much recoil and the ballistics of the 300. wsm i think are increadable. What are your thougths on the 325. wsm

Answer 1

I haven't shot it, and I hope I don't make the Winchester people mad by pointing out that it's not a 325 but an old-fashioned 8mm S (.323) I do shoot and handload for 8x68S, though, and it's a very nice caliber. The Winchester people apparently wanted to make a 338 WSM but had technical problems and wound up changing it to 8mm to get done what they wanted, so if you want something a bit off the beaten path, I think you'll find it quite satisfactory.
