I think the term overkill is nonsense, and certainly in the case of the 358.
It makes a great bloodtrail in the thickstuff, and on rainy evenings you cant have a good enough trail. I almost could not find a deer that was 5 feet away from where it stood when I shot it, but the absence of a blood trail got me down on my hands and knees in the thicket and there he was.
With a 7mm I would have not expected a big blood trail and would have wandered too far, it would have gotten dark, etc.
358 is a perfect caliber from 35 Remington to 358 norma, for deer.
