The 358 Winchester is a cool old round. I can say I used one for my woods hunting in the NE for a lifetime. Suppose that's the best part of it. A cool old round.

Even though I started as a hunter and marksman with bolts and falling block SS's by chance I lucked into a 99F 358 in 1966 and it's been my primary rifle for that hunting.

Get what you can and use it well. There is more than one right answer to this. If I had a choice 50 years ago I might have selected the 338 Federal.

I was in a shop near here and saying I have 358's. A customer there chimed in and said he has ten of them! When he left I asked the proprietor if it were true and it was!
