Nothing wrong with the cartridge and I'm sure it would do eveything you could ask it to but my prediction is that it will have a pretty short life span in commercial rifles. Not sure why they just didn't call it a .338WSM....something hunters were familiar with. Bullet availability would be my only concern versus a .338 WM.

Just to clarify, you mean that there is no gap betweenthe .338WM and the .325WSM right? The way you've got it written it almost sounds like you are saying that you dont think there is much difference between the .300WM and the .338WM which is starteling news to me.
