What's become of the .325 WSM?

My tikka 35whelen was border line to my thin, it’ll shoot sub moa, but for a walkabout rifle who cares if the 3rd shots an inch off. If you get a 3rd shot at a critter it’s going to be on its way to the next mountain at a good clip and you’ll never know the violet missed its mark by an inch.

So anyone still own a 325wsm rifle? I still own both of mine. I always laugh at some people who give opinions when they don't own a firearm that shoots the caliber. Any how my Kimber 8400 SuperAmerica and Browning Abolt titanium kick butt. They are thumping game out to 600 yards. Dead on their feet is more like it. Although not on the shelves I have no problem finding components for reloading that shoot 1/2 MOA. I even find loaded ammo on the internet. The rifles are not being made too much although a couple still are here and there. One day if I wear out my barrels I may convert to 300wsm for it looks like that caliber will survive(a simple barrel switch). I may not, for I have plenty of brass and there are enough good 8mm bullets out there. I'll decide when I come to that point in time.I like to check periodically just to remind 325wsm owners to feel good about their uncommon caliber. As it turns out deviating from common(and few) calibers didn't turn out so bad for me. Hope you 325 guys have been enjoying your rifles. I added muzzle brakes and the recoil is like a 30-06.

Whatever works for you, My Friend   Definitely an excellent chambering ...I kind of like  different chamberings myself, like my 9.3 x 62....

The .325 fits nicely between a couple of other very popular calibers, the  .300 Win mag and the .338 Win mag.. Any of the three will handle any big game on the North American continent...

I have a 300WSM and I enjoy it, only killed an elk and some deer with it and the results were more than adequate. 

What game have you used your 325 on ?

Update: I've found a few more places with 325wsm ammo. List to date: Double Tap Ammo, Hendershots, Wisconsin Cartridge, Selway, Copper Creek, Pendleton, PCI, Nosler, Hornady. 

There are others and a couple of them you might have to do a back order. Do a thorough search on the internet and there probably are a few more. Be safe.

Happy hunting.
