I think the 325 WSM was dead at birth and the reason being the 300 WSM....in other words same deal as 8mm Rem and 300 Win.

The problem with 8mm bore size is that it is not enough bigger than 30 to offset the loss of all 30 calibre bullets. In addition the 338 Win and 375 H&H totally dominate the over 30 calibre area (excluding lever guns).

The 338/06 and 35 Whelen get some play time but that is only because of easy conversion from 270s or 30/06s. But people won't buy new rifles in those calibres. Although it would have been interesting to see how the 35 Whelen would have gone if it had been in the Model 70 instead of Rem 700 and ditto for the 338/06 if it had been in Model 70 and not Weatherby Ultra Light.

Weatherby producing a rifle and ammo for the 38/06 is an interesting exercise in marketing and what these people do. I could be wrong but I reckon the profile of a 338/06 man who is prepared to spend above Model 70/Ruger/Rem 700 money to have a 338/06 is not a Weatherby buyer.
