[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1297163, member: 12995"] The 8mm was treated just as badly as the .25 caliber has been by the bullet and rifle manufacturers, which caused them to get left behind. Bullet selections for both have been minimal compared to every other caliber out there. Nobody has offered modernized twist rates for either, therefore bullet manufacturers felt no pressure to build the heavy high-BC bullets for them. So, the .325 WSM, 8mm RemMag, and 8mm Mauser have gone the way of the .257 calibers, where it's not longer "cool" or "mainstream" like the 6.5mm's and the .338's that took their place on the popularity scale here in the States (in Europe the 6.5 and 8mm have and always will be popular calibers). Personally, I'm a big fan of both the .25 and 8mm calibers. There was a cheap used A-Bolt II .325 WSM for sale locally for quite a while, but when I finally got the money up, it was gone. I was going to see if it shot, and if it didn't, I was going to use the action to build a 7mm SS. I guess it wasn't meant to be... [/QUOTE]
