Re: The Nearly Forgotten .318 Westley Richards

Quote:
the caliber of 330/8,4mm and the load of a bullet weight of 250gr, at first glance I don't see a clear advantage for hunting compared to a cartridge 8x57IS, 8x60S or 8x64S, all cartridges that can be loaded with a 220gr bullet or even heavier. For the latter there are several factory loads, which doesn't seem to be the case for the cartridge 318 Westley Richards.
Please elaborate on the heavier than 220 gr projectiles for .323/8mm.
I like to have 250 gr bullets for my 8x68S. Or heavier bullets than 220 gr. Woodleigh did made a 250 gr SP.
Ideally a matched SP and FMJ in the same weight 250, 240, even 220 gr. Well constructed SP and FMJ.
