Damn, you have an 88 in 358...I'm jealous..hunting partner has one in 308 and always liked it. I'd take a 99 too, but had to settle years ago for my BLR.

I shot a deer with my 358 and the 200 Hornady SP at about 200 yards. My load was around 2550 fps and thought I'd maybe catch it. Nope, went through and busted out the opposite shoulder joint on the way out. I'd have no issue using it or the 225 Sierra load I have at about 2450.

I'm a little jealous too. My 88 is a 308 and also have a BLR .358 Win. Like them both. I shot a buck at about 30 yards with a Hornady 200 SP from my BLR. It broke the opposite shoulder scapula but was lodged against the ball joint. He started quartering away just as I pulled the trigger and ran for 30 or so yards. Retained weight was 149.4 grains / 75%.
