- The .325 WSM (Winchester Short Magnum) is a rifle cartridge developed by Winchester in 2001 for use in their signature line of rifles. This round offers increased performance over other cartridges such as the .300 Winchester magnum with velocities up to 3,400 fps due to its short and fat design, resulting in less muzzle drop and flat shooting trajectories at longer ranges.
The .325 WSM is an excellent choice for those looking for a light-weight cartridge suitable both big game hunting and long range target shooting given its impressive ballistics. It has seen limited popularity compared to other calibers from the same era due to its relative rarity, but can still be found if you look hard enough.
