Although it is a good caliber as such. My question for you is twofold. 1st..Why? 2nd um why?? Not knocking the caliber itself. or the size of the bore either. But like a couple other Short Mags and WSSMs..is it going to be here in 5 yrs or 10?? And the other question is anything it will do is done as well or better by the 338 Win Mag. for which there are many good bullets both for reloading and in factory loads. And ammo is and is going to be much easier to find also. So if you can live with the maybes etc. Go for the 325. My personal feeling is the only Short mags that will last are going to be the 270WSM marginally and the 300 WSM. It is pretty popular around here. You can actually find ammo for it locally and I know a guy that has a 270, a 300 and a 325 also..but has not shot either the larger or smaller of the 3. And to top it off I think all are Kimbers..but he also has a 338 Kimber which he does use for elk.
