.318 WR vs 8X57, etc...
05/06/07 12:27 PM

Gents:

Reading Bell's Wanderings and got curious about the .318. I have COW and Taylor's AR&C but I'm wondering if anyone here has chronographed any Kynoch loads and what the actual performance of the cartridge was. I have spent time in Kenya, Congo {Zaïre} and in the c. year I lived in South Africa I never saw a single .318 rifle or cartridge not even on the custom bench at the Musgrave Mauser plant in Bloemfontein.

Anyone have a picture of a .318 round sitting next to a round of 8x57? How close are the two cases in dimensions?

From the looks of the paper ballistics the .318 has .007" on the 8x57 and that's about it, i.e. they seem to be very similar catridges other than bullet diameter.

What is the actual bore/groove of a slugged barrel? Heck, they appear so similar that if the bore of a .318 rifle is actually .318 and the groove depth .330, in an emergency 8x57JS rounds could be fired in a .318.

Anyway, I'd be interested in any and all input regarding the .318.
