99guy: I don't think the picture posted by Jsgwoodsman shows a "poorly struck 358" - I contend it shows a well "struck" (roll stamped) caliber designation on a barrel. That was "made" (struck or rolled) WITH a roll die that has a "5" that was created being a few thousandths shorter than the 3" and the "8" that adjoins it!
This is what I have observed for decades now!
It is the tiniest of aberrations but it is "right".

I wouldn't debate or get hung up on the language used. Important thing is there seems to be a consensus that the gun and other guns similarly struck or rolled are right.
2 days ago I would not have bought that gun, today I would. I suspect others are of similar mind.
