Johan, you will have to bring your rifle to the next BGRC shoot, I would love to see it.

I found out recently that there are a couple of other members with original 318 WR rifles, they are bringing them on the next shoot.

The 318 was Bells favorite rifle and had the greatest praise for the rifle and the cartridge taking hundreds of elephants with it. That was also the rifle used on the famous Cormorant shooting anecdote. He claimed that it penetrated better than any other cartridge that he used.

I use a 338 WM with 250 grain bullets and would agree completely. That 330-338 diameter bullet range with a 250 grain bullet is a very effective combination.

Matt.
