Re the 358 Win. Due to reasonably aerodynamic 358 bullets being so heavy, I don't feel the 358 Win has quite enough case capacity to send those bullets out with enough grunt.
Maybe the 338 Fed treads that middle ground better?
Never quite understood that argument, UNLESS its all about past 300.....to 300, you're splitting hairs with bullets, velocity, drop, and effect, between the .358/350M/Whelen. If we're sticking to short actions, you can load for that in a .358, or stuff 90gr pistol bullets in it at 3k....or cast 300s at 1800, jacketed 158s at 2200, 180 TTSXs at 2800, 225 ABs at 2600+, or whatever....and do what you want with it. Hard to find a good way to launch stuff that heavy in the smaller bores, or the variety of bullets for various uses. My definition of usefulness probably isn't the same as others, though.
