Good eye I’m into the oddballs, though I’m trying to kick the habit. .318, .577, .375 Flanged. The .318 sits as a project still, I do a fair bit of gunsmithing in the the winter here, and have a .318 Lothar Walther blank and an Oberndorf Sporter sitting together. Even found the reamer, headspace gauge, and dies. I just need the time to do it, it may be sold as a project before I get there. Following the .318 is a .375 Kemano Oberndorf. View attachment 1125633

Decades ago I turned down an opportunity on an original Westley Richards magazine rifle in .318 and I still kick myself for it. It was offered at $1250 USD which, while an absolute bargain, was still enough at the time that I would have had to eat ramen for a while afterwards, but oh how I wish I'd done it.
