A friend has been using a .358 Win. for at least 30 years on all of his Alaska hunts. His rifle was made up on a Sako action and I think he always used a 250 grain Speer. I doubt he ever shoots past 200 yards and has to shoot any thing twice.

Long gone Alaskan guide Hal Waugh spoke highly of the .358 Win. for brown bear and his wife Julie's old Mod. 70 .358 Win. was down the road from me for a few years.
