318 WR bullets
#212288 - 08/07/12 12:23 PM

I'm having a 318 WR built and had a couple of questions. Is Woodleigh the only company that makes bullets for .330? Also, has anyone swaged .338 bullets down to .330?

And does anyone have any pet 318 WR loads they'd be willing to pass along?

Thanks very much for any help.

Hello SB

Almost finished putting a 318 together for a client on an 09 Agentine 98.

The load for this rifle that shoots very well:
52.5 grains of AR2209 (H4350)
CCI 250 primer
250 grain Woodleigh RSN
Re-formed Winchester 30-06 case
From a 25" Walther barrel it clocks a neat 2335 fps

Heard of acceptable results using swaged down 250 grain 338's but have not tried them. Be happy to do so one day though.

Best
ALEX

Many thanks guys - I'll check this stuff out.

Seems like H4350 is the stuff, huh?
