If they were doing their homework I'd have a RAR in 358 with a 20# threaded BBL. You mean 35 Creedmoor, don't you?
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

The .260 is so passé what with all the Creedmoor and PRC offering of late. I hope I can re-read this thread 17 years from now! LOL!

358 Win. fanciers tend to overestimate the demand for it.

MM, Right! Most non-loony’s have no idea what it is. I had a guy ask me not long ago if that was a blackpowder cartridge. :-)

358 Win. fanciers tend to overestimate the demand for it. Nice. I hunted with a BLR in .358 win (it was part of a line up) and killed a bunch of hogs and deer with it. I got rid of it when I picked up a Rem custom shop KS Model 7 in .350 mag that I use for Black Bear every year. I still have a Mannlicher Schoenauer in .358 win but it sees little use. Have plenty of brass and dies and can't bring myself to get rid of it.

Call me a heathen, as the masses often do, but what does a 358 do that the 308 does not do?

Call me a heathen, as the masses often do, but what does a 358 do that the 308 does not do? On that same note what does a 308 do that a 260 doesn't? And what does a 260 do that a 243 doesn't? Eventually bigger is just better for the need at hand. It's easy when you have no real situation in mind to say that small is just as good as bigger.

If you went to whomp something big and close I'd say there's more effective difference between a 243/100 gr and a 308/200 gr than there is between a 308/200 gr and 358/250 gr.

Funny how old this thread is. I had one of these in .223. Great vermin gun and shot a few deer with it. My dad bought one in 243 and still has it. I was made an offer I couldn’t refuse and sold mine. Both got upgraded Timney triggers. Fun accurate rifles.

What does the 358 do that the 308 doesn't? Well both kill well but the 358 with 250 grain bullets seemed to me that it anchored tough feral hogs quicker with chest hits than the 308 that I normally load 150 grain bullets in. Certainly it gave better blood trails but I have dropped hogs with both cartridges. It is hard to specifically say, try a 358 yourself and see.
