How about the .318 WR?


Edited to add the .375/43/270 Westley Richards.


Added .220 Swift and updated count to 37


Edited to add .256 MS


Edited to confirm 10.75x57 and add 9.3x53, 10.75x63, bringing count to 39. What about the 9.3x57? Can anyone confirm that?


Edited to add info re. 7.7x64, 9.5x56MS. Also, to confirm that the M-S is able to handle rimmed or semi-rimmed cartridges, such as 375/303 WR and .220 Swift. Please note the following quote from "Mauser, Walther and Mannlicher Firearms", pg. 227, by W.H.B. Smith, concerning the Schoenauer Magazine design: " This magazine design is very efficient when use with rim cartridges since it provides excellent feeding. When used with rimless cartridges it is no more efficient than the simple and cheaper vertical box magazine."
