I've built 3 338's and just couldn't warm up to them. Still have one but the more I looked into the 358...the more I liked it. Found a 1-12 Douglas #4 and had a 722 that's been open to 3.00 w/a Brown Precision to put it in. Sent it to Rick Steinhour for the build. I'm having him cut off the complete shank and re-contour to my old Rem barrel. Should be more like a #3 when finished. I can't wait to get it and start load work up. powdr

The Rem barrel contour should be about perfect. I went with a #3 Douglas with min shank and really like it. ....You goin 20” or 22”? I’ve both, like 20” better, handy rifle 21" is where it's at.

I never saw a reason for the 358 Win....
until I shot one owned by Ken Howell, built on a 1909 Mexican Mauser action...
had a lot less recoil than I was expecting and the bullet did a lot more than I was expecting also...
I have enough tools in the toolbox, to do anything I need done...
but I'd recommend a 358 to anyone...its a well balanced package...
good luck with yours Powder...

I’d shoot one, a little later they would come back out. I had corn strung out. I ran out of bullets before I ran out of pigs, learn me to take about 20.

Powdr, What is the twist on your barrel? The 1st one I built; I specified 1~16" Big Mistake! I also have a Ruger 77 Flatbolt in .358 and it is also 1~16". Am currently having a Rem M-660 in .308 rebored to .358 w/1~14" twist. Mostly for cast bullets. Have three other rifles in 358 Win with 1~12" twist. Yeah, I like the .358!  GH

My 99 brush gun is 1/14 I believe. It has always shot all loads in minute of deer. Maybe some were not benchrest groups, but they always dropped what I shot at. Mine came from a guy in Alaska. The original owner had shot it with something in the muzzle and shortened it to get rid of the split. It is 17.25" and still knocks down game fast. Sure carries well with a low powered Leupold in QD rings. Just waiting for Gunswizzard to impart his first hand knowledge that the 358 bullet drops as soon as it hits 100 yards. Be Well, RZ.

I wonder what twist model 99’s are? According to my data, 1 in 12". I believe the Browning BLR is also 1 in 12". Winchester is 1 in 12". Ruger is 1 in 16". Anything else, your guess is as good as mine. FWIW, I got the numbers from the Speer #9 load manual. Paul B.
