35 cal 245 gr Saeco mould

Has anyone used the Saeco 35 cal 245 gr bullet in the 358 winchester or 35 whelen? Is the cannelure in the correct location so that the gas check stays in the neck? Thanks.........Joe

ignore the crimp groove.
i use it in my 358 win sized to 358.
i seat it out as far as i can go,and just wind it up till it loses accuracy then back it off a little.
this puts my ruger in the 2300+ range.
it will flip flop a 175-275 lb deer no problem.

It's a great mold/bullet, I used it crimped in the proper groove, in my '94ae .356 Winchester.

What powder are you using?

i took a doe with it last season -- did just fine,,,, loaded lenght was for my .358 ruger --had no problems groups well used H322-- the starting load for a 250 gr bullet -. add .5 grain and left it that way --38.5

48-50 grs.
48.5-49.0 shoots the best for me.
50.0 really starts to put some recoil into the picture and starts opening groups with the little rifle.
