I bought a BLR 358 a year ago March. It will shoot 200 or 250 grain bullets, jacketed or cast, very well if I use IMR 3031 powder. No other powder I've tried is as accurate. A Hornady 200gr FTX and 48gr 3031 killed a respectable whitetail buck last November. It's nice not being wrist deep in blood when dressing out the deer. But if I measure the barrel according to RCMP instructions, it's only 19 inches long. I think that's too short for a foreigner to take hunting in Canada.
IMR 3031 is what I've used to date as well in my BLR and shooting Hornady 200 gr Interlocks. Haven't tried 250's or 225's yet.
