    Kimber chambers are typically tight. Your one may not be...but according to the Hornady table you're not a mile out.

    A slower powder might be better...just checking your barrel is 24" cos the Kimber has a funny factory thread that won't take a DPT unless an adapter fitted. Might be 22"?!

    Cheers, yeah looking at your chart your are right not too far off and it could be any factor with the rifle (still newish - 30ish rounds). For my DPT suppressor I had to get an adapter from NZ Asia which sorted that side, so still 24".
