48.5 grains which gave me around 2450-2500 fps. I've been working on some ABs in mine too but am still tweaking it, but I wasn't using 4064 with that one, I'll have to check my data.


Any issues with the Accubond workup. Nosler 9 didnt even have a 358 Winchester section this time and they make a perfect bullet for it.


No, Nosler doesn't include it because they state when the bullet is seated to SAAMI max OAL, the ogive is below the case mouth. In my BLR, I can seat it so it's not and I didn't have any problems. I should try some IMR 4064 since it's shot so well for me with other 200s. I pulled out my data and I've used Win 748, Viht 135, TAC and Xterminator. Win 748 only gave me about 2300 fps with 50 grains; Viht 135 2550 with 49.0 grains; TAC 2574 with 50 grains and Xterminator 2578 with 48.5 grains.



M1, Thanks for all the contributions to this thread, especially your findings with the 200 NAB, OAL-wise.
But the reference that Bluejay made in the quoted post above is to the Nosler Manual #9. I think you are talking about a statement they made in #8. They did not say anything about the .358 Win in #9 because they dropped that cartridge completely from the manual, despite making what may be the world's best bullet for this round, the 225 Partition.
In addition to this travesty, they also dropped the .284 Win and a few other great cartridges. They incorporated a few new ones (mostly Nosler proprietary rounds) but I don't get the requirement to drop other great rounds to bring in new ones. Hell, we are buying the manual for DATA! if it needs to be three inches thick to accommodate the data, so be it! We'll pay the price, if it's any good.
Not to derail the thread but I was real disappointed to see these omissions in the new Nosler manual. To get back to the main subject...
Last year I ran 51/TAC with the 200 TTSX, Fed 215, Win Brass, in my 22" M99, and this gave 2700+ FPS. Run the numbers on that and it is darn effective out to 400 yards. I killed my AZ elk with this load in 2020.

Cheers,
Rex

Rex,
Yeah, I read that as the 200 AB wasn't in the 358 load data, I didn't realize they dropped it completely! I had emailed Nosler and one of their a customer service reps, Mike Seay, emailed me back stating this about the 200 AB. If I ever see the 225 Partition on SPS, It's on the list. I wish Hornady would make a 225 Interlock too.

never ever figured I needed one... I still don't need one, but if one came my way, I would certainly purchase it.

The one I shot was made on a 1909 Mauser action with a nice Fajen stock.

Right now, my fav three .358 Win powders are RL-7 for lighter bullets, X-Terminator and TAC for others. My gun is a 12 twist, but does seem to favor lighter bullets.

After trying several bullet/powder combinations, I have finally settled on 48 gr. TAC under 225 gr. Sierra GK's for my Ruger M77 Hawkeye SS. Nosler Partitions would have been my first choice, but they didn't group as well as the SGK's.

My rifle is a Pre64 M70 FWT. 48 grains of H4895 and a 225 grain Sierra and 50 grains of H4895 and a 200 grain Remington (IIRC) PSP are very good choices for me. The 200 grain load will clover leaf three shots.

I have both, haven’t compared them with different bullets.

2015 is closer on the burn rate chart to H-322 and Benchmark, about equal distance between RL-7 and RL-10.

TAC is slower, burn rate around H-335 and A-2495, the latter reportedly made for .308.

I haven’t gotten as good of groups with the slower powders. X-Term seems to be compromise with good results.

There are so many bullets and so many powders that work in the 358 Win that one just needs to see what his gun likes.

I realize most of the posters are discussing max or near max loads for big game hunting.

Thought I would mention a mild load. A friend left me his KS model 7 in 358 when he passed. I have quite a few big game rifles so I made this for plinking and javelina. Has the SWFA ultralight scope on it weighing 6 1/2 lbs.


180 gr speer FN 40 gr of H4895 velocity 1990 fps

It is fun to carry and shoot! Would be a good load for a youth hunter.

40.5 grains of 4895 seems to be the sweet spot for my cast loads.

I have a BLR 81 steel frame in .358 that I use for deer and an occasional hog . I don't use the 200 grain and heavier bullets much as my rifle is extremely accurate with the Speer 180 Hot Core and they kill deer like they were struck by lightning. If you can find some give them a try , if not I think Hawk makes a 180 with a jacket geared for deer sized game. I use 43 grains of H4198 which runs right at 2700 fps in my rifle. They work best at around 2500 fps if you need this bullet to give maximum penetration on anything heavier than the whitetails I hunt . At 2700 they act like a fat varmint bullet.

Thanks much good sir.
748 all day long in the .358 Win for me. Shot the smallest 100 yd group of my life with it pushing Speer 250 gr RN out of a 20” JES 1:14” 4-groove barrel.
