[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1023382, member: 11960"] I think that either one will work well, but I'd lean towards the 338 WSM unless factory components are an issue. From a 17" barrel, you'll still be exceeding 338-06 velocities. I would expect bullets in the 200-225gr range to work beautifully from either the 338 or 325. Heavier bullets in the 338 may not expand very well. I run a 338/375 Ruger from an 18" Striker and I've had the best expansion with bullets 250gr and under. The 225 Accubond is one of my favorite all round hunting bullets from the pistol. I would expect the 200gr .323 Accubond to work just as well. Andrew [/QUOTE]
