I don't have a 358 Win,but I do have a 35-284 I built which is basically a 35 Whelen. I have experimented with every bullet I can find and the 225 gr. Sierra has been the most accurate and has folded up a couple of Arizona Elk when I lived there and I don't even know how many deer. I built the rifle on an older Savage110 action with a # under 50,000. That makes it fairly early on. I bought it way back when the model # was the price $110.00 dollars. I got it in 243 and used it many years.
I got around to rebarelling it to the 35-284 and a Douglas barel.
I couldn't be happier because I can get 3/4" or less (any bigger is my fault) and 1-3/8" at 200 yards with the 225 gr, Sierra. I have clocked the velocity at the Tucson Rod and Gun Club with my old buddy G. Sitton when he lived ther and was alive.
Long story shortened.. 225 gr Sierra at 2700 fps recorded by Gary.
35's are great and with one exception, nothing I ever shot needed more than 1 round...
