Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 358 Winchester

I've been hunting whitetail for several years now with the .358's big brother the.35 Whelen, 200gr. RN Hornady Inter-lok and 225gr. Sierra Game King bullets have produced great results both on target and on game. If I had it to do over I would have built a .358.

The Whelen is no slouch, a great round.

But, the .358 Win is a good one, too.

Doubt the critters can tell any difference.

Stainless/Synthetic Hawkeye with post/green triangle 1-4 Trijicon. Smooth and a decent trigger from the factory. My plan was 225 NP, but it dearly loves 200gr Hornaday SP with max charge of TAC.

Had a mid-70's 99 Brush Gun but never shot it enough to know what it liked. Pretty much lived in the safe, which was not what it deserved, so it eventually walked down the road.

Aero Precision AR-10 upper and lower, Wilson Combat barrel, gas block and tube. Forend is the Aero S-One, so the carbine is very light and handy. Sports a Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40 with the lit reticle (before they dropped it from that level of scope). Try to shoot 225 grain pills with it. I think I am the first one in this thread with an AR-10. Guess I need to get busy and convert/build one of my VZ-24 actions to a .358WIN!
