You are right, there is no other reason for the .318WR than it is cool. I would venture to say most on this forum have more than one rifle…maybe even two. But, I think there is something special hunting with a classic rifle and cartridge. Everyone has a 30-06. Maybe even a few. Not everyone has a .318.

Should I build a 318 Westley Richards?

Easy to do, get a M98 FN a 30/06 or 270 Win is ideal, rebarrel it get a set of dies, make cases out of 30/06 or buy Bertram & Woodleigh 250 grain bullets, or win lotto & buy an original, I did it Barrel by Swan in Brisbane Aust shoots 3 shot Moa. PM me if you want to know more,

I’ve got a 30-06 Colombian cavalry carbine that is tired, it’s what I was planning on using, was going to go see sprinter's to see what Keith had. Dies are the stumbling block at the moment.

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
