Need 358 Win Loads

[high standard 40]

I did a search for loads for the 358 Win but didn't find much for bullets in the 250-260gr range. I just got my new Mountain mold in and I got a few slugs poured and I'm ready to work up some loads. Anybody work with loads in this weight range. What powders work well for velocities for hunting deer. I want to push these above gallery levels if possible. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've already asked this same question earlier, I have the same goal as you ...............

Some information offered, but not as much as I'd have liked to have seen.

I have 2 Shilen barreled .358's I shoot the 245gr. Saeco bullet a lot, and the powders that have shown the best accuracy so far are Varget, 3031, and IMR4350. I used starting loads for the 250 grain jacketed bullet and worked from there. I run that bullet around 2100 to 2200 fps, in both rifles and get good accuracy and no leading with water dropped wheelweights.:smile:

Far and away my best accuracy combination in my M77 Hawkeye .358 Win has been 38.0 gns of H4895 propelling a Saeco #352 (3:1 ww:lino) @ 2,010 fps. What rifle will you be using?

The rifle is a custom Mauser 98 with 24" Douglas Premium barrel. The bullet is detailed in a post I made over in the "Mold - Maintainance & Design" section.

That's a fine looking bullet. Let us know how it does at the range.
