I have the modern 358 win. It's called a 338 Federal. I'm shooting 210 gr Partitions at 2600. The trajectory isnt the issue with a good scope. I put a NF SHV on mine to dial if needed - which I'm not expecting to. The issue with the 358/338 308 based cartridges is remaining velocity when said bullet arrives. Keep the bullet within its design parameters and your good to at least 300 yards.

That said, these cartridges are designed for 'woods' carry. I'd define that as inside of 200 yards. I'm taking mine elk hunting in October and plan to be able to shoot out to 350 - even with the Partitin "ping-pong" balls. I'd bet an elk shows up at sub 100 and takes a 210 Partition through the lungs. I'd bet he dont go far. I thinking if he shows up at 300, I'll have the same result.


Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
