A question regarding the .318 WR and converting a .30-06 to a .330 bore .318 WR.

Can the barrel re-bored from .308 to .330 bore?

And is there someone in Australia who can still do this?

I assume the .30-06 chamber can be modified to a .318 WR chamber?

I believe some people don't do this, and use .30-06 brass instead. Comments?

I think I would want the chamber to be correct for the .318 WR. I have not looked at what the differences are.

Or is it far more advisable to source a new barrel for the purpose?

What is the optimum barrel length? I assume 24 inch would be pretty fair and ideal for the ballistics and also usage in the field.

What barrel length did the usual length were the usual vintage Westley Richards .318 WRs? Many of the vintage rifles appear to have quite long barrels. This might be sometimes relative as the fore-ends are often shorter.

This is a possible donor rifle,a ZKK 600 available. For a WIP project. If it has the right features.

One thing is that the CZ/Brno ZKK's have always been a little chunky for my tastes ... but if the rifle is availble might be a start. Need to find the dollars as well, and even more so, will be a test of whether I can get a PTA.
