    I can almost see a well to do German hunter stalking a stag in the Black forest with your rifle.

        It may be obvious, and maybe I missed other posters commenting before, but you may have a rifle that is intended for a .318 inch round when more modern loads would use a .323 round.

        One of the posters on this board [-- having a brain blank -- can't remember who] commented in great detail about the dangers of firing the larger round. So a chamber cast is essential, and could save your life or eyesight.

          Yes thankyou. I believe it does use the .318 bullet.

            If 172.28 gauge = a .308 bore; and you add .005 deep grooves around it you get..... .318
