Kimber, Huh?
No, but I would like to be. It is the equivalent of the 6.5 X55 mm Swedish round , which has been used for verything from mouse to Elephants with outstanding results.
Actually , I think "Karamojo" Bell used a slightly different but ballistically equivalent 6.5mm cartridge to do in his many dozens (hundreds?) of elephants, but I think he was one of the rare super good marksmen every generation produces. He died of old age, in great Britain, not of terminal elephant.
The Scandinavians use the round with its 140 and 160 gr. bullets and pedestrian velocity to take "elk", which is our moose, (or is it the other way around?)
Maybe Europeans are on to something? You did good, rifle and caliber wise.
OOOhhh! ENVY is such an UGLY emotion!
