I've owned a .358W BLR and own two Savage 99 .358Ws. I use 225 gr PTs and 250 gr Hawk bullets on everything, much better than 200 gr Silvertips. W748 or W760 seem to do the trick, but will try TAC. My hunting loads are 1-1.5 MOA. This is a great cartridge for deer, black bears, wild boar, and it would suffice for elk and moose. I love this rifle for hunting the thick stuff, but an open country rifle it is not, I consider 250-300 yards it's outer limit. A lighter Barnes might change that a bit, but I much prefer bonded bullets. Also, they are scoped with 1.5-5x Leupolds, although I have used the iron sights quite a bit as well.
i think i got a couple boxes of those hawk bullets. Is it true you should keep velocities down around 2000fps with them, or am i thinking of something else.
