[QUOTE="Vinootz, post: 1652865, member: 110410"] It performs well out to 600 yards. Still effective beyond that. 200 grain bullets have the best ballistics. You can go 220 and even 250grains(Woodleigh), but not necessary. There are guys that shoot even lighter bullets out to 800 and 1000. I'd check OGW charts beyond 600 for hunting though. 32-to 35 ft.lbs of recoil energy is noticeable from the bench but not bad if hunting. Use a good all around bullet if you anticipate the possibility of encountering a close shot. Bullets can be frangible at close ranges. Beyond 150 yards you should be okay. Quite a few hunters in northern country have even taken large brown bear with the 325. Great for elk and moose. Personally,I wouldn't shoot at game beyond 300 yards(maybe 400) anyway-that wouldn't be hunting to me. Read Chuck Hawks and also read Illiad & Oddysey by Dellasandro on the internet. They give a lot of good info for the 325wsm. Enjoy- it's a thumper and accurate cartridge. [/QUOTE]
