on the .318 WR, many here know I have long wanted one. To build a classic styled Mauser custom rifle in one.

Of three minds on the subject however.

My heart says, yes I want one, an English classic styled Mauser 98 rifle in .318 Westley Richards. My spirit and soul says yes.

My brain says, however, a rifle in .338/06 would be far more useful, easier to load and find components for, and this modern reinventing the wheel wannabe cartridge, would do everything just as well. With a greater range and availability of bullets work even better.

My wallet says, WTF! You have an 8x68S and it will do it all anyway. With better sectional density and greater velocity. Use it more and forget these .330 and .338 bore cartridges.

All three would be nice however.

A .338/06 or 8.5x63 (I think it was, the Euro version of the .338/06) barrel for the Mauser M03 would be useful.
