I have a .358 winchester and I am in the market for a good mould for it. It seems to like the 250 grain jacketed bullets so I would like at least a 250 grain mould. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with the .358 win and cast bullets.

While its not quite 250 gr. the RCBS 35-200-FN is a really nice boolit for the 35 Rem. and .358 Win. for deer sized game. It shot great in the 35 Rem. Marlin I used to have.

The RCBS 35-200-FN is an outstanding bullet for both rifle and pistol. It is gas checked and is the most accurate .35 caliber bullet I have used.

I know that you preferred a 250 gr but I think you would be more than happy with this one based on it's track record.

FWIW

I've been looking at NEI #166 it supposed to drop at 232 grs with lino . I have the Lyman 204 RN and would like a bit more weight for my Whelan . James

Midway had the RCBS 35-250 available the other day. Had some special order price on it of over 100 $ . May as well get a good mold for that price.

My RCBS 35-200-FN makes a 215 gr finished weight bullet. With 50/50 WW/pb. RCBS ahs been making lots of over weight molds of late. I've a 30-180-FN that makes 200 grain bullets. Anyone want a 200 grain 30-30 bullet?

Saeco has the #352 245 grain.
Or you can go to mountainmolds dot com and draw one up.

I've a 230 grain here from MM . Has a .570" long nose 57% meplat BTAN.
Length inside case of .386" bearing L .625" OL .957"

Old West Bullet Mould has a pretty good 358009FP with GC you may want to check out.

They drop at about 266gr.

I like the looks of that one. My .358 is a custom model 600 remington. I wonder if these would feed ok?

You might check on what you can come up with, at Mountain Molds. Draw and order your own design. I just recieved a semi-loverin from Dan for my .358, and placed an order for another design.
I've killed deer, elk, and buffalo with the .358 Win. I love 'em.
