Title: 325 WSM?.....
Post by: Slamo on January 21, 2018, 09:18:09 PM: Anyone using one or had one?.. Is factory ammo getting hard to find?.. Is reloading supplies hard to find?.. I'm looking at a model 70 EW SS 325 wsm because I like the platform. My 338wm model 70 is long and heavy.

First three shot group and I don't even like the Win Mod70. I would say the boat paddle
Shot under half.

I could always need a new boat paddle, I like Mod 70 paddles, I’ll trade a highly reliable, proven, Chinese SKS for it. :tup:

Like I said, I have a soft spot for Chinese crap. Tempting!

That is a lot of recoil according that chart.. I had Bench Mark put their miller brake on my 338wm and I will might do the same for the 325wsm.. Thanks for the info. :tup:
