My first deer rifle 33 years ago was a BLR 358. I've loved 35s ever since. I do find I favor the 336 ER in 356 slightly, over the BLR, and have never warmed up to the 99, in looks or it's limitations. 200/225gr Accubonds are fun bullets in either. The truth is that loading all sorts of stuff to see what all a 356/358 can do can keep you busy for a long time. Nothing has ever walked away from mine...Not far, anyway.
