MY Kimber .325 didn't seem any more abusive than the '06 Featherweight (with 165s) I was shooting at the same time, despite being a lot lighter. No experience on game though... but I suspect it'll work as well with Partitions or Accubonds as an '06 or .300 Mag will...
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

Boddington was always touting the 8mm rem mag, I too would probably go the 325 wsm route just because I have two wsm's why not another one or two.
I did notice that Gun Broker has a handful of Remington 700's in 8 remington mag. and a couple of nice classics in the $7-8 hundred range.
Personally, I would probably build one off a Montana or Winchester action put a barrel band and express sights and a mcmillian Winchester safari stock, Sunny hill bottom metal and have a real nice bush gun.
