Could be that at a COAL of 2.8", the ogive is still inside the case mouth. Compressed load? Changed it. Yep, I think that's it. Without actually loading one, I eyed it, and that could be a problem. More better for a Whelen. ..that is it... And if you look and measure closely the Nosler Petiitions are also into the ojive when seated to 2.800... Bob

I recently bought a used 77 in 350 Rem Mag at Cabelas. Who makes a good synthetic stock for the short action Rugers? I was sure if McMillian of HS offers them in short action.

My Ruger will not eject shells over 2.900". It is my favorite rifle.

Scott.. Inletted either long or short. McMillan Ruger-R (I believe it is designated RG-1)

It looks like I am going to stick with my 200 gr FB TSX

There is no reason that you won't do 2900fps+ with RL15 or TAC and the 200gr TTSX. And if that doesn't shoot, one of the 225gr items and the same powders will do 2750fps+.
Either way (I have no experience with this combo yet) it should do 36" + penetration and thump big animals hard.

I am glad the new Montana 1999 weighs 9#.....because it is getting the same velocities that all the reloading manuals say the .358 Norma Magnum is....
Didn't do any groups or accuracy testing, just wanted to see what the gun would handle for a load. Using two bullets, the Hornady 250 Spire Point and the Nosler 200 Accubond both seated so that the base of the shank was at the base of the neck. Even when seated that long both bullets had room to spare in the Montana Rifle Company short action. Powder was Winchester 748 with a Winchester Large Rifle Magnum primer.
Shot the 200 Accubond first:
60/2765
61/2763
62/2799
63/2775
64/2835
65/2840
66/2899
67/2921
Then the 250 Hornady Spire Point
60/2544
61/2568
62/2601
63/2642
64/2646
65/2708
66/2730
67/2740
The last three made a 1" group.
More testing to come...once I find my PAST Pad.
