Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 358win loads...again

I saw TAC and X-Term at Cabelas in Gonzales, LA this past Monday, on the way to Santa Rosa Beach, FL for Thanksgiving.

They had small rifle and small pistol primers. No large rifle primers. None are cheap.

I tried calling the company last month and no one would ever answer.

That’s not reassuring.

I found r7 and r10x when I looked quick.



I also came across AR Comp data for the 338fed and 180s that was humming. Not sure how it equates to 358win loads...but I have AR Comp on hand.


I do know that the Hammers are shooting extremely well at 2609 with TAC. I just don't love how compressed that load is. It actually may be shooting well because of seating depth. My lower charges were seated deeper.



Temp sensitivity is of mild importance to me. I don't hunt extremes here kn PA but it may be in the teens or the 70s. Not a huge deal. But I had r15 open up significantly in a Whelen. Below 45 degrees it shot better than I could. Warmer it got the bigger the group got. I shot it at like 60-65 degrees and thought my scope was bad as 2" was tough.


I'll hunt my load in the coming weeks but after that I'd like to play around a bit more and see what I can come up with.

Glad you found RL-7 and RL-10. I don’t see any RL’s anywhere. Grab what ya can when ya can. Use what you can find. That seems to be today’s reality.
