A lot of the .338 lighter projectiles are monometal bullets which I assume do not size down well at all?

And what about partition style projectiles. The H jacket section, I would think does not size well at all?

Correct me if I am wrong.

I like the idea of a .318 WR and using 160 to 180 gr HUNTING projectiles for the like of fallow, chital, red deer etc.

Soft non controlled expansion bullets might be fine for a lot of paper and competition shooting, or for feral goats or most feral pigs. But a trophy red deer hunt, I'd like a 180 gr quality controlled expansion projectile.

Marrakai,

I would love to know who sometimes sells those Hornady's. As for reloading components, no rifle yet, no dies yet, but I do have a walnut blank, and I think a supply of .318 WR Bertram head stamped brass! I know .30-06's can also be used. I think I have some Bertram 180 gr projectiles. I should lay up some of the others including Woodleighs. And dies. Then finally the rifle! And probably sell them all off oneday!
