[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1297174, member: 2736"] As MudRunner said, Bullet selections were the main issue. The 8mm rem mag was a great round and bullets were the only drawback to them. The 325 WSM had the same problem but also was a victim of poor quality rifles. Lots of people simply neck them up to 338 (325/338)when building a custom rifle in the short mag and have very good luck with them as a wildcat. The closest if not slightly better because of the bullet selection to the 325 in ballistics, is the 338 RCM. I prefer to use short actions for all of the short mags and use center feed mag boxes to improve feeding. With all the new powders you give up nothing using the short action. if you want more power than they can give, I recommend going to a 338 Win Mag or 338 rum size case in a long action. The 325 Can be a very good cartridge depending on bullet selection and good smithing in its class so I would not rule it down and out as long as shooters are interested in saving it.
