North 61 there are no fleas on the 348 though. What terminal performance do you see with the 348 with the FP bullets? My experience with the 358 Remington bullets, 200 gr FPs ,in reformed LC brass loaded to the middle of the book ladders in 4064 or Varget gets maximum wounds. Whitetails don't move, they drop. The 200 gr PP Remingtons do as well but open a bit slower. 358 seems to be a good diameter. I have experimented with 148 gr wadcutters as a small game load. 158 gr HPs would probably make a varmint load. I have spent some real time playing with the 358 in a savage 99 brush gun from about '72. Again all I ever needed was the middle loads to use for my personal maximum. I suppose you might want near max for bear or other really large beasties. If you reform LC brass drop two grains from your book max due to the heavy brass. It does make a difference. Thanks and Be Well. Rusty
