Anyone do this or have knowledge, (resize 358 Norma to 338 WM)?

I purchased 25 358 new factory Norma brass a few years ago, then resized and trimmed to 338 WM. I never reloaded any and cannot find where I read this is acceptable. Measurements look good and the shoulder measures only about .003" shorter than my fired brass.

Otherwise I'm down to 100 once fired 338 WM brass (Nosler brand).

I would use the 1st go with the 358 brass to get a new scope on paper and/or some load development, or practice from sticks with light-ish loads.

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
