who here has or uses one? How does it compare with the 338 Win mag?

Try rigbymauser over on Nitro Express forum and here on AR as Jens Poulson.

I would love to have one built and have dreamt about one for years. Unfortunately the barrels are a bit 'thin on the ground'. A 300 grain Woodleigh RNSP or FMJ with a SD of .386 really appeals.

It would be a beltless equivalent to the .338WM as case capacity is about the same (but with more class).

Exactly what I was thinking. Plus, the penetration capabilities with the looong bullet make it seem like a great round. I am considering building one (along with a 425 WR), just wanted some opinions and thoughts about it.

You cant get much more classic than a .333 Jeff or the 425 for that matter.
I have an original Jeffery but haven't shot it yet. There are a couple nice ones on the market right now but they are on magnum Mauser actions which is overkill for the .333. Mine is on a standard Mauser action which is perfect for the cartridge.
Maybe a .338 Jeffery would be a nice modern interpretation.

I have a bolt gun and a double in the US, haven't fired them yet.
I look forward to getting them one day - if I don't sell them !!!

I used to have another bolt gun but sold it in the US a few years back.
