[QUOTE="mgood, post: 1462556, member: 91188"] I strongly considered a 325 WSM. Might still end up with one some day. I wanted one rifle to cover everything in North America bigger and tougher than deer. I couldn't decide between a 300 Win Mag and a 338 Win Mag. Like Goldilocks, this one's too big, this one's too small, this 8mm is [I]just[/I] [I]right[/I]. Now I catch myself wanting a 325 WSM [I]and[/I] an 8x68S[I] and[/I] an 8mm Rem Mag [I]and[/I] one or two 8mm wildcats. Then I slow down and think, "What happened to wanting ONE rifle for all this??" Life would have been much simpler if I just got a 300 WSM for the lower 48 and something bigger for Alaska (should I ever get to hunt Alaska). But no, I have to get hooked on eight millimeters. Every thread I see about a cool 338-something-or-other makes me think "I could neck that down to .323 . . . " :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
