Re: SuperDuper 32 Win Special NOW???
Like we need another bore diameter! Being 325 instead of 323, all they are doing is avoiding people saying it is a rehashed 8 mm version.

Who thinks of it as a superduper 32 Winchester Special???

This one is strictly a creation of the marketing dept.

Since it is not in 338 they will not have to worry as much about people saying it will be competition for the 338 Mag.
The 300 WSM hurt the sales of 300 Win Mags, I am sure.
This is when they want to sell both.

I don't see a need for it, except as a wild cat for the guys who like to carry something different.

The extra 2000th of diameter bullets will be handy for extending the life of a shot out 8 mm if one does not do Cast bullets. Beyond that..... YAAAAWNNN

cheers and good shooting

I miss that beer! As for the 325, as I said, I just want the bullets for my other eights (I'm still a rifle loon tho', just can't help myself). - Dan

If you talk anti-belt propaganda to shooters of deep experience such as my friend Glen Pearce or Jim Cloward, who have won national high-power awards with belted magnums (Cloward the 1,000 yd. Wimbleton), they'll chuckle and advise you to take up a new hobby.

Talk anti-belt to hunters such as Dr. Gerald Warnock and Bert Kleinberger, who have literally taken all of the world's big game species with belted magnums over the course of some forty or more years of hunting and they'll look at you as if you're demented, and rightfully so.

Talk anti-belt to African professional hunters who have literally built careeers around the use of belted rounds such as the .458 Win. Mag., .375 H&H, and .416 Remington, and you'll likely get back a dry response such as, "They've worked bloody-well good enough for my needs!".......

Talk anti-belt to guys like me who have fired and reloaded thousands and thousands of rounds of belted magnums for nearly three decades, and have hunted with same in a score of states and several foreign countries and my response is: "Gee whiz, I must be doing something drastically wrong, because I've never had a problem with belted cases for all these years!"

It's all good propaganda, though, to sell new merchandise to the pilgrims.........

But all this begs the question:

If all of these cartridges had not had a belt, (with the exception of the 375 H&H and straight wall cases that need the belt for headspacing)everything else had been the same, except the chamber and case head had been designed as "beltless", would that have changed the outcome? I don't think so.
