Anyone know who makes a blank appropriate for a .318 Westley Richards?

Richard,
I am basically trying to build a rifle very much like the one you posted pictures of before. To do so makes no sense whatsoever since I could have a 338-06 instead, but it's not about making sense. I just want one, I think it's a neat round. Lothar Walther here said that the .330 bore is not catalogued but was (is)? made at least until last year, they are emailing Germany to see if there is a blank laying around in old stock.

Kevin:

Can you please call my wife and explain this to her? I've tried and tried, all to no avail (which is why I now have all my packages from gunsmiths shipped to my office!)

Kevin, have you tried Krieger? On their website they list

a barrel for a 318WR in CM with a .318 bore and a .330

groove. They show a 12 twist only.

From whom do you plan to get bullets? I still have some older Barnes "original" .049" wall copper tubing bullets for mine, but I don't think Barnes makes them any more (hope I am wrong).

Woodliegh has em and Midway happens to have em on sale. Also, Hornady is making some .330" bullets for Grafs.

Hawk makes bullets too. Tell me about the Hornadies made for Grafs, I did not see them on Grafs site?

I believe these are the bullets:

SKU:HRN3302B
HRN (Hornady) 8x56R .330" 205gr SP BULLET SpirePt PER 100 $22.99

On Graf's web site, look under Hornady Ammunition / Brass / Bullets / Reloading Tools / Graf & Sons Exclusive Ammo & Components
