Browning BLR .358 Win. - 02/27/09
Hello all,
Being a Marlin Lever frequent user and a TSX-addict, I need a lever action rifle, that I would:
- scope without stomach cramps,
- could use TSX FBs in (no tube).
That says Browning BLR. A collegue of mine has one in .308 Win. that keeps red deer in check in the Harz Mountains.
Often having to participate in game drives on wild boar, I want more bullet.
Browning offers the .358 Win.

Questions to the board:
1) What is the max. COAL the short action BLR magazine permits?
2) Who has actual load data and velocities with .358 Win. and 225 grain Barnes TSX out of the 20" barrel?
3) Is there any indication, that Browning will chamber the BLR 81 Lightweight in .338 Federal (in 20" barrel)?
