I have the RCBS 35-200 and the NOE 35-230wfn for my 358 Win. Tom at Accurate can put multiple designs in the same mold. I did that for my 8x57, 2 gc hunting bore riders and a pb design for reduced plinkers. hc18flyer

Based on what I've learned here I traded for a RCBS 200 gr FN mould. My .358 loves it therefore so do I. Mine finish up at 217 grs and I can't see needing anything else for hunting Texas. I play with .357" 150SWC Lees for plinking with light charges of Bullseye or Red Dot and they are a hoot.
Best, Thomas.
Welp, the deal fell through on the sporterized Springfield, so now I need to find a new gun to work with. I'm thinking a Mauser. There's plenty barreled actions floating around. How hard would it be to convert one from 8mm to 358 Winchester? Is it as simple as having the barrel rebored, or would I have to mess with the magazine?

Count me in For the RCBS 200GR FN and my 336A 60s vintage likes it too!
There are no flies on the Saeco 352 @ 245 gr.

I love the RCBS in 200 and 250 grn molds but I also have an accurate mold model 235L that I really like. If you go the 358 win route, you will not regret it.
This country has gone to hell but now there is hope for us.
You know of course, that the 8x57 case is longer than the 358 so the barrel gets cut, threaded and rechambered. It is probably easier to rebarrel at that point.
