Between my Dad and I we have recently acquired 2 760's Rebored to .358 and a Charles Daly re-barreled to .358. We'd like to come up with a 200gr RN load as we have a PILE of the bullets already. Anyone got a good starting point? All will see use solely for Pa whitetails within 100 yards so "ok" accuracy is fine, don't need a 300 yard load

I have one and it is pretty easy to feed. IMR 3031 was good, TAC is good. The only one that my rifle did not like was reloader 7. I will need to look at my notes but I had a load using the 200 grn FTX that shot pretty well, around 3\4 inch at 100 yards.
......the occasional hunter wielding a hopelessly inaccurate rifle, living by the fantastical rule that this cartridge can deliver the goods, regardless of shot placement or rifle accuracy. The correct term for this is minute of ego.

49-50gr of TAC. I've found both the Sierra and Hornady RNs to be very accurate.

My .35 Whelen shoots 200gr. Hornady Inter-lok RN's into tight little 3 shot cloverleafs at 100yds. Kills whitetails like a lightning bolt, powder is IMR 3031. I believe it would do the same in .358, check Ken Waters Pet Loads for .358 charge weight.

I've used 46.5 grains of IMR-4064 with Sierra 200 RN.

Worked up a load years ago for under 100 yards with mine, 48.5 IMR4064 with the Sierra Pro Hunter. Around 2450 fps and shoots great.

I prefer classic.
