Anyone know a place to pick up some 325 wsm ammo locally, or is it pretty much online only?

One outstanding cartridge few realize is out there. Cabelas and Sportsman's doesn't stock the ammo, but you can at least get the brass through Cabelas. Mail order is probably your best bet. I'd reload for this one, loaded ammo is over $3/round from what I found.

What's the draw toward this ammo?

A "short" magnum perhaps. I'm surprised this and other wsm's hadn't become more popular.

The WSSM's can be accommodated by simply swapping your AR upper. They're more super than the shorts. lol

So we talking for hunting, bench rest, varmints?

I read the article (thanks for posting that btw), but it still seemed vague as to where this fits a niche, or what it accels at?

Here's more than you ever wanted to know: .325 Winchester Short Magnum

Besides all that it would seem to be an attempt at getting the same performance out of a shorter action rifle. Kinda like .308/.30-06 I gather.
