Your thoughts on my cast boolit load for deer this year in the bottom--

[GLynn41]

lee .358 cal 206 grains over 39 grains of H322
the melt is my range lead and ww ac'd
you can dig in them with a fingernail
my .358 has a worn out barrel -- I go it in 1977-- now the throat is loooong
the rifle is a Weatherbye vanguard. The only thing i do not like about is they used the 30.06 length bolt for this short .308 class round.
I will be using it only the bottom/ swamp, so minute of whitetail is all that is needed
this same load over 38 gr of H322 was 2140fps with a Seaco 245 .358 cast boolits
i will get around to clocking the 200 gr load in the morning

Should do well. I have not recovered a bullet yet on a whitetail, from my .358 win.
RCBS 35-200 or Lee copy. WW at 2,050fps and IMR3031.

Good, should make a dead deer

Make sure your knives sharp! Should make meat whenever pointed well.

[Smoke4320]

If you put the bullet bin the boiler room of the deer you should have meat for the freezer

my prediction:

DRT

I would say double check your accuracy when you chrono. Aside from that be ready to drag and cut. Best of luck.

FWIW,
I , too shoot deer with my 358 Win on Savage 110CL, douglas 14 twist, 24"
Load is WW cases(308 necked up), WLRprimers, 43 gr 3031, Lyman 358318 , 250 gr cast
of 9+1 WW/Lino, and Paper Patched with 20# 100% rag bond paper. Oehler chrono
says it clocks 2340 fps.
Works well on up to 200# field dressed deer I have shot. Great for "thru the shoulders"-
Deer Crumple up on the spot, and I "can eat up to 3" of bullet hole"- minimal meat damage
compared to typical 30-06/180gr
