Well, I know if I point it at something, it's going to die. Perfect bullet performance.

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
NICE!!!! Looks like 35 calibers score again this year!

I'd have to agree.
Funny how that works out.
Not much snow for November.

I hope I get a chance to 'verify' your statement about the 358 again later this year. I passed up a doe under my stand on opening morning. With a NE Season's Choice permit, only six more weekends of deer season.(don't tell the Mrs) Happy Thanksgiving, Flyer
great cartridge It's what I'm using
congrads on the kill.. Really starting to fall in love with my 358 Win

Ric, what was the bullet/load?

I hunted a Savage '99 in .358 last year. Unfortunately, it was a bad year for me and deer hunting and the only one I got was a doe right at the ragged edge of things, but the .358 in that package is as close to the perfect deer rifle as I've found, at least for the conditions and methods I deer hunt.
Very easy round to get good cast performance out of. I'd be curious as to the load used as well.
The bullet is a 260 gr. from Mountain Molds. The powder is WC852F, 42 gr. It will shoot under an inch at a hundred yards, if you can hold well.Originally Posted by AnthonyB

Well done!
Do you have one of those game ear things that acts as earplugs over a certain noise level in your ears? If you do, how do you like it and which one is it?

Good shootin'
very nice score
I shoot the 358 as well and use a 260 gr. Mountain Molds boolit as well
killed deer and elk with rather ease with the cartridge can't understand
it's lack of popularity but oh well their loss
have a good one
Hit em'hard
hit em'often
Good morning and Congratulations !
One fine caliber to get to be "Ho Hum" about ! That confidence is a fine one to hunt with. And now "supper time".

Congratulations! Please tell more about the rifle.
No, actually I listen to the radio a lot of times when I'm hunting!

It's one I built. I cut the stock to the old Serengeti Hunter design. I had the barrel made at the old Bauska Rifle Barrels shop by Steve Williams. It's octagon, with integral front sight ramp, 1-14. FN Mauser action, Timney trigger.

Understated excellence all the way. Solid choices top to bottom. (BTW, I love the pewter forend tip.)
Congratulations.
358 Winchester is hard to beat.
Now I have a question if you'll permit me: Have you throated that rifle to accept that long bullet, or do you just seat with the GC in the case? Your comment of "WC852F 42 gr." has me curious.
Precision in the wrong place is only a placebo.
