What do you think the velocity of 200 grn. would be out of the 18" barrel? Could it be too much of a good thing at under 5 lbs,considering the 3oz weight of an Aimpoint H1?


You should be able to gain nothing over a 308 with more recoil to boot. What's not to like!

I've built two .358's, one w/22in barrel and one w/23in barrel. I could maybe go 21in but just can't go 20in or lower. It's just my personal preference. I think the gun looks better and it does add a little to the velocity. I love the cartridge but now have a 338Federal. May just try and trade for a .358. powdr

I think a Model 7 .358 with a 20.5" barrel would be a sweet little thumper.

You are looking for short range gun a .358 win with 200 gr. T-TSX running at 2500 fps with a 50 yard zero is .03 high at 100 and only 4.75 low at 200 yards 200 yards would yield 2150 fps and just over 2000 ft lbs this is the very definition of a short range thumper smile

Mine is 20" but it is still sweet. smile

The barrel is off getting reprofiled to standard Rem spec so that I can easily mess with other stocks.

I will reiterate, the COAL limits of a M7 can be annoyinging with .358 (unless you went DBM).... For instance, you won't be trying the 200-gun Accubond. The ogive will be in the case mouth. If built on a regular SA M700 you could get around that.


The CENTER will hold.
