I believe that Ross Seifred has written an article on this cartridge recently. Can someone tell me where and what issue.
Thanks for the assistance.
Google him, you'll find it.
I have Googled it every which way and can't pull anything up !
Your problem was spelling: Ross Seyfried

http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/mediapages/ArticleDetail.aspx?mediaid=433Hope it helps. Not a terribly exciting cartridge to build a rifle for but if you stumble across a classic Mauser .... well
Also fair amount of info in Cartridges of the World.
If you subscribe to Double Gun Journal, they will give you Ross's email address.

Gregor Woods summarized the allure of this cartridge in Magnum a few years ago. Said to have been the bees knees for farmers, meat hunters, etc... at a time.
.330 cal. jacketed lead core 250gr round nose at 2350 fps.
Works through its inability to push the bullets of the days beyond their tensile yield.
With todays bullets, nothing to get excited about - the modern nearest equal is the .338-06 - for with 210 Nosler Partitions or TSX make most sense.
Mike 454- that is what I was looking for. I just want to get Ross's take on the cartridge. A lot of folks used it and liked it a lot.
My spelling is famously poor; my apologies to all.

Cabela's had one a few years ago that made me weak in the knees. It was a Rigby Mauser '98 takedown. IIRC the tarrif was around $3000. Very sweet rifle.
I'm Mauserless at the moment, which leaves me with a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I need help. I'm pretty sure I could talk my doctor into prescribing the cure (a Mauser) but the problem is getting the health insurance company to cover it.
I know that rifle ! From when I lived up there and I believe it has a good home now..
The .318 ammo I have on hand reminds me a lot of a 8x57 with a heavy for caliber bullet(220-250) and could be replacated easy enough without the hassle of the odd bore size that is used with the .318WR
Ken Waters wrote of a 318 WR Mauser in Rifle 191 - I think it was #191.
From what I have heard about the 318WR, all were built
on expensive rifles. Probably no economy guns around in
this caliber.
