I'd have to look at my notes but i want to say 48-49 was a 50 fps spread on my rifle as well.

The only pressure issues I encountered was with some Lake City Brass I worked from 308 to 358. That brass was a problem and every other shot was sticky. After 20 rounds I pulled the rest of them and the brass went into the trash.

I even had reduced by a full 2.5 grains on the charge. Still wasn't enough. Not had a single issue with standard brass at all.

The 200 gr load is basically my do all load right now.

The Nosler will be my Big Game Round mainly because of the superior ballistics. In my opinion it maxes out the 358 capabilities and makes it a capable rifle farther than I care to shoot cool

The cartridge is so dang efficient
