peabody,

Most folks that use an 8mm on game report they are happy users. I haven't had a chance to try the WSM version, but reports I have read are what you would expect...jim

The 325 WSM is a thumper for deer and elk. Congratulations to your uncle.

I load for a friend who got a .325 WSM about 3 or 4 years ago. He uses it to hunt deer, antelope, elk, and black bears with, and he loves it. He's taken several elk with the rifle using both the Nosler Partitions and Accubonds. It really is a good shooting rifle and the recoil is not bad at all. I found it was an easy rifle to load for, and I didn't spend a great deal of time before I found a really good load with each bullet, and what was great about it, was that they were right of horizontally with both loads, and the only difference was the Accubonds shot about 1-1.5 inches higher at 100 yards.
If you want Peabody, I could give you the information on the loads I worked up for him, but of course you would have to start slowly and work up cautiously as each rifle is different. I hope he enjoys it. He won't be disappointed.

Welcome to the forum Peabody. Yes the 325 will do everything in North America and do it nicely. 200 grain bullets at 2900 fps + is not bad.
