I bought a custom Mauser in 358 NM from a forum member here, had the stock redone and mounted an old 3X Weaver scope, had 4 cans of Norma N-204 powder forever, got several boxes of 250 gr Partitions, worked up to 2800 fps.
It is an extremely accurate load in this rifle, I believe the old custom barrel to be a Douglas, the man that built the guns name is Longfellow, that and the caliber designation is all that's on the rifle.
I wouldn't hesitate to hunt any animal with this rifle and load, save Ele, it a hell of a cool rifle, full bore 358 NM loads are not for the timid!
Enjoy your rifle and load work Elk130.
