48 gr RL-10 sparked by a CCI-250 primer under a 200 gr TTSX goes 2700 fps in Hornady brass at 2.800" in my Ruger all weather hawkeye.
It fires absolute consistent sub inch three shot groups at 100 yards, I wouldn't have concern of bullet expansion out to 400 yards or until velocities fall below 1800 fps, hunting elevations would dictate max yardage.
Gunner, I may have to give that sucker a try in my BLR. My current load is W748 and 225 PT's. Does about 2450 and hammers stuff pretty well, but I have really worked with the 358 in a few years. Might be time to break it out and give it a try.
I agree about the 358 hammering deer. Nothing much better in the deer woods in my opinion. I haven't had any problem running it out to 300 yards on 8" plates.. Seems to whack em pretty hard..
