Yes the .358 Win. is even more dead than the 257R and it's not a in between cartridge either.

I made the .358 Win. mine for the fun of hunting up there in the VT woods. Perhaps many other rounds would have been as effective?

I have a few of them but I am hunting in a more open area now so I carry regular rounds and a magnum once in a while.

To add: I was in a gun shop in 1966 and there was that 99F in .358W. for $81.00. I brought it home and pushed my heavy 06 P-17 aside.


All guns should be locked up when not in use!
