Re: 318 WR, 318 Rigby, 318 Nitro Express - the same?

There seems to be some divergence of opinion on the true bore size of the Westley Richards.318 Accelerated Express, viz;

John Taylor (African Rifles & Cartridges)- .327"

Burrard (Notes on Sporting Rifles) - .327"

Frank Barnes (COTW) - .330"

Bill Fleming (British Sporting Rifle Cartridges) - .329-.330"

George Hoyem - .330"

Woodleigh Bullets - made at .330"

Hawk Bullets - make .329" AND .330" (presumably for 318WR?)

Has anyone slugged a reasonably new bore?
