JPB..thanks for posting the photo. That was when my son was 8years old. Now at 16 he is 6'4" tall and gets his own moose.

Gunner: The Alaskan's will be a fine bullet. Woodleighs here are more readily available from Tradeex... and less expensive. Must be the old Commonwealth connection with Australia.

I have some discontinued 220 grain X bullets that penetrate very well and with 220 Barnes Originals make a pretty good pair. I think you are wise keeping the speed and pressures down in the old Winchester, in my 22" barrel I aim for 2500 with 200 grains, 2375 with 220 grainers and 2200 with 250. Brass lasts longer, and is hard enough to find Or expensive enough to make that matter.

Mark, let us know how the 250 grain Kodiaks work. Always looking for a new 358 bullet to try in my 350 Rem Mags.

The 348 WCF 200 grain Swift at 2450 went into jug seven. Bullet weighed 194.5 and measures .610x.635.

I've killed several deer and 2 moose with the Kodiak 250's, haven't recovered any but the wound channels were spectacular, also very accurate. In 358 or 350 rem think it would be hard to beat either the 225 or 250 swift A-frames, the Norma 250onyx should also work well just loaded some up for a friend in 358. Just built a 24in barrel 356 win that sadly think will replace my 348, not enough difference in performance to justify the mod 71 and as my wife constantly reminds me I have too many rifles.

Dangit, lead your Wife back to her three or four closets and point out how many pairs of ladies shoes you see. laugh I'm glad to hear the ABW 250's work so well, I hunt my '71 when feeling retro, NO scoped rifle can match that for old school cool, and I have plenty that have tried. smile

North61,
I just watched a few of your 348 Win videos. Any idea who may have made these bullets? They're well over 35 years old and were just pulled from reloads.

Thanks, Dinny

Interesting! The problem of being in an out of the way place is that I don't get to go to many shows! I don't know what bullets these are. Remington Peters had some interesting designs but all I could do is give you wild guesses. What are the weights?

The one with the funky nose might be the Peters inner belted. They came in one odd weight 210 grains, and had that weird nose shape.

If it works here is a link to an image of one in 30-06

The HP is 200gr, the FP is 250gr.

Makes me wonder if the HP is a Rem inner belted like these: https://www.soldusa.com/Listing/Det...nchester-Ammo-Three-Remington-One-Peters

Thanks, Dinny

North: My 356 Win BB cycles 358 Win brass just fine. Been told not all 356 Win will do this but it works in my lever gun.

I tried 308 in my 307 and it made for an unholy mother of all jams. Would be handy to be able to use plentiful and cheap brass but the 307 availability is pretty good right now.

308 brass functions great in Marlin rechambered 307’s. Have read functioning is spotty in Winchester BB’s.

Re: Alaska Bullet Works 250gr .348 bullets. This one opened up at around 2200fps. I just hope I can find a creature down here that's thick enough to have it expand in it.

Thanks, Dinny

In my 94, 308 brass creates the mother of all jams. 307 brass is easier to get now than ever before however.
