225 grain partition @ 2500 fps
200 grain ttsx @ 2700fps

Alliant RL 10x used for all the above loads.

That is on par with the 30-06. Anyhow having put away thousands of lbs of moose n caribou meat with the 358, dont sweat the hypothetical ballistic bullsht. Get your a s s in gear and go buy one. You won't regret it.


Hahaha.
Just socking away the $ and waiting for the right rifle to appear. Not like there’s tons of them around. I missed out on one I could kick myself for. Another Will come.


Nice, good luck. If prices are too steep, grab up any 243, 260, 7mm-08, or 308 and send to jes reboring. It'll come back to you a 358 win for about $250.

I also have a Kimber Montana in .30-06 that shoots the 165 Accubond into bugholes over H4350.


Ny,

Nice little 358 carbine you've put together. I have found on my moose hunts, the 358 Winchester with 275 grain woodleigh, have anchored large bulls just as effectively as my 9.3x62 with 300 grainers. I've never field dressed or quartered a bull in a swamp or in the river. I aim for front quarter bones to brake out the front end.

Propped that 358 rifle over my hunting pack with a 200 grain ttsx vs 200 grain accubond load in 30 mph winds. I found 400 yard hits were easy with both, but the longer ttsx bucked the wind better.
