AJ Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I should be able to gather some data this evening. Loke the other short mags, the 325 WSM was supposed to equal the standard magnum version. In this case its supposed to be equal to the 338 Win Mag.

AJ Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Re: New rifle Review. OK, here is some data on the 325 WSM vs a .338 Win Mag. The two cartridges compare pretty closely. I compared the following factory loads: 325 WSM 180 gr 325 WSM 200 gr 325 WSM 220 gr 338 Win Mag 180 gr 338 Win Mag 225 gr Here are the trajectory paths: And here are the energy levels: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Re: New rifle Review. That .325 WSM sure is an impressive cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Re: New rifle Review. While it does not have quite the diameter of the .338, it has a higher ballistic coefficient when the bullet weights are the same. This is how they get similar performance downrange. One thing that helped Winchester is Nosler. Since they are in bed together, and have the Combined Technology stuff, Nosler made some bullets that were not available before.
