I think the 325 WSM appeal is primarily similar performance as the 338 WM with less recoil and a shorter handier action and rifle.

I actually have a 300m WSM and enjoy it more than my 300 WM. Shorter, more compact, and handier thru brush.For those who don't like the 338 the 325 WSM may be an ??alternative. In the meantime I am not looking to sell my all weather 338 WM.The weight is lighter than most 338's with more recoil but its worth it.

I agree that alot of the "new" calibers are ridiculous. Give me better bullet performance and other shooting technology instead.
