Due to magazine limits what is the best all around bullet for bear elk and deer in the 350???? Any loads that have worked for you would be great thank you

200gr TTSX @ 2850fps seems like a great place to start.

If you can find them, I like the Sierra 225gr BST #2850.

I use the 180 TTSX in my 350 Rem Fotis. Knocks on nearly 2900 with the shorty barrel and shoots great with H4895.
Not sure if the 200 TTSX would be too long but being as they like to jump, I'd be fine loading it to 2.8 and giving it a go.

Well I just traded off my Rem 600 350 mag. I bought it new in around 65-66 but taken a bit of game with it from elk to moose and the only bullets I’d recommend are the Hawk 225-250 grainers. They print 1.5 inches same place either bullet. Blow both shoulders out of a moose. No other bullets have worked so well in this rifle
BTW what are you shooting, barrel length and twist

Scrounge up some Partitions in 250gr, or best of all, 225gr. The Speer 250 also covers a lot of possibilities. The 200 Hornady will whack deer. ,

I’ve got the best accuracy with a Speer 200 grain round nose.

No experience with the 350 Rem mag but plenty with the 35 Whelen. I ended up sticking with the Speer 250 grain spitzer. Shoots great, always expands and I never recovered one. That said I also am very fond of the same weight Nosler Partition. Just that so far I can't pick one over the other. Speeds around 2500 fps.

I’m running 225gr nosler partitions over RL-15 in mine, at 2675 fps. It’s a 700 classic bedded into a factory 700 titanium stock. The two black bears and one coyote I’ve shot with it have traveled a total of about 15 yards after impact.
Oh, and believe it or not, deer bite. Fairly hard.

Another vote here for the 225 grain partition. Accurate, dependable and able to get decent velocity since it doesn't eat up quite so much of the available case capacity.

200 grain TTSX is a great .358 bullet.
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

I use locally made 200gn Hollow points and 56gn of RL10X for a 10 shot average of 2851fps. My rifle is a 1969 made Rem 700BDL with 24" barrel.

I'll try the 200 TTSX hopefully they won't be too long. Should have this on Friday.

I only hunt deer so I run the Speer 180. But I have loaded the Hornady 200 with Re7 and found it shot just as well in my Rem 673. I have a bunch of the Sperrs so I load them.
