Pascal333, yes the .333 Jeffery and .318 Westley Richards for sure are as classic calibers as you can hope to build ..here in South Africa the 333 Jeffery, .318 Westley Richards has a following as well..Eagle Barrel company here in SA, Frans Odendaal are building them here as wellI will. I wont do anything to it for a bit since bear season is coming upon me. Ill be posting soon about my 404 and 333 Jeffery builds!
Im getting everything together for my 318 Westley Richards build too
Amazing. I just bought a pac nor .318 Westley Richards barrel because I found an importer into my country. I have bullets dies and brass already.Pascal333, yes the .333 Jeffery and .318 Westley Richards for sure are as classic calibers as you can hope to build ..here in South Africa the 333 Jeffery, .318 Westley Richards has a following as well..Eagle Barrel company here in SA, Frans Odendaal are building them here as well
You can add the 404 Jeffery and 500 Jeffery as two more Classic calibers to your collection/building projects...Please upload photos as you are making progress with these rifle builds..while you on a roll consider the 9.3x70 mm as well another caliber build on a parent case of the great 404 Jeffery ...
I am fortunate to have all the re-loading components, reamer and gauges for the .338 Imperial Magnum also based on the 404 Jeffery case ...
Excellent, enjoy your builds and these fine rifles you will have in the near future..all beautiful and great classic calibers...Amazing. I just bought a pac nor .318 Westley Richards barrel because I found an importer into my country. I have bullets dies and brass already.
The .333 Jeffery barrel i got very lucky. A gentleman here only wanted about $45usd for it! Its a Hoffman arms co barrel. I just sent the parts for it to get put together. I have about 500 .333 bullets, and dies from ch4d.
As for the 404 Jeffery I traded a few rifles to a very good gunsmith here and he is finishing up the build right now. I bought the FN comercial action from Ralf Martini when he liquidated his stock. It comes with eaw pivot mounts. That will be a very nice build.
