Some guns you shoot for fun, some you shoot to kill game. It's like the difference between taking a date to the movies and having sex with her later.

Thank you for sharing your expertise! Do you have any recommendations... What movies work best? smile smile smile

Of course, the 16" barrels are handy. I have a 'new age' Win trapper 94 of 1982 which doesn't seem particularly compromised. Yet many chamberings, seeming considerable compromise. Seems like your .358 Win would be in rhw considerably compromised category! Of couse each to their own!
Did I ask about the movies... ??? smile smile smile
