Found this website while looking for something else. Looks like he makes some very nice guns.

"Take down rifles can be made with exchange barrels in different calibres, here is a list of some useful combinations:

338 Win / 458 Lott
300 Win Mag / 375 H&H
300 Win Mag / 416 Rem
8 x 68 S / 9.5 x 66 ( 375 Westley Richards)
270 Win / 9.3 x 62 270 WSM / 325 WSM"

Not wanting to take out anything of a gunmaker's claims as to usefulness - what the heck is 9,5x66 (.375 Westley Richards)? Never heard of that one!

A search showed this immediately:
http://www.cartridgecollector.net/95-x-66-vom-hofe-super-express

9.5 X 66 VOM HOFE SUPER EXPRESS


Maybe Westley Richards decided it needed a named cartridge?

I also thought the 9.5x66 had a Scandinavian name?

Here is some more details "auf deutsch": http://www.jww.de/ausruestung/332-9-5x66-super-express-vom-hofe


"Als dann die englische Firma Westley Richards nach einer Patrone für Mauser Systeme im Kaliberbereich .375 suchte, entschloss Walter Gehmann sich zu einem dritten Anlauf und wählte diesmal die 7x66 SE. vom Hofe als Grundhülse.

Damit steht reichlich Pulverraum zur Verfügung, um die Leistung der .375 Holland &Holland sogar noch zu übertreffen. Die Fertigung der Patronen und die Entwicklung der endgültigen Laborierung ist bei Wolfgang Romey/Petershagen erfolgt, der auch die anderen vom Hofe Kaliber für Gehmann fertigt.
In England kam diese Patrone gleichzeitig als .375 Westley Richards, ebenfalls von Romey gefertigt, auf den Markt. Die Fabrikpatronen sind auf eine Vo von etwa 820 m/s geladen. Damit ergibt sich bei einem 300 Grains schweren Geschoss eine Mündungsenergie von 6 600 Joule.

Somit liegt die neue Patrone um gut 800 Joule über den Werten der .375 Holland&Holland und kommt schon der .378 Weatherby sehr nahe (Zum Vergleich: .375 H&H, Winchester Silvertip 300 Gr.: 772 m/s, 5781 Joule)."


"As then examined the British firm Westley Richards for a cartridge for Mauser systems in caliber .375 range , Walter Gehmann decided to a third attempt and chose this time the 7x66 SE . from the court as a basic sleeve.

This provides plenty of powder room available to even surpass the performance of the .375 Holland & Holland yet . The production of cartridges and the development of the final Component assembly is carried out at Wolfgang Romey / Peter Hagen , which also manufactures the other from the court for Gehmann caliber .
In England this cartridge arrived at the same time as .375 Westley Richards , also manufactured by Romey , on the market . The factory cartridges are loaded onto a S Vo of about 820 m / . This results in case of a 300 Grains heavy projectile a muzzle energy of 600 Joules 6 .

Thus, the new cartridge is a good 800 Joules on the values ​​of .375 Holland & Holland , and comes the .378 Weatherby very near ( For comparison : .375 H & H , Winchester Silvertip 300 Gr .: 772 m / s , 5781 joules )."

That would make a takedown in

8 x 68 S / 9.5 x 66 ( 375 Westley Richards)

quite a cool and effective combination, with cool sounding cartridge names as well.

Yes, please!
Now, the only thing I need is what poor people call money.

Incidentally, I also Google'd the caliber and came up with but one WR rifle ever made in that particular caliber - or so they say Only WR in .375 WR?.
Cool factor about 1,000 on a scale from 0 to 100 where 0 is none and 100 plenty.

How does the case dimensions of the 375 WR compare to that of the 375 Ruger and which came along first?
