I had the 300wsm in a model 70 fwt classic and if you were overly gentle working the bolt the cartridge was a little clunky going into the chamber...work the bolt like you should and it always seemed to slide in no problem. Wish I still had that one.
I haven't seen any issues as far as feeding goes at all. I don't cycle the gun fast though, so I'm not sure if maybe that plays a role when people have seen this trouble?
I've loaded quite a number of different bullets and a variety of COLs for several of them.... just no issues at all yet.
So far my experience has been that this is a really excellent gun and caliber.

I have a M70 classic in 300wsm, and a push feed custom in 325wsm. No problems feeding in either rifle. Sure niether one feeds slick like a well worn M70 30-06, just due to case shape, but I have never had a problem.
I think you will like the 325, if you handload it seems like almost any powder/bullet combo works. It's easy to load for like a oversize 308. If you don't reload the factory 200gr accubond load is a great all around bullet.
Initially I think it was only the 223 and the 243WSSM's that had a few feeding problems. I believe it was corrected then. I haven't read or heard too much since then on the issue.
