@hperk9.3Hello all,
I am interested in building a 358 Norma mag off a 1909 Argentine action I have. Just want to get some other peoples opinion on the cartridge before I dive in. Also curious what y’all think of ER Shaw barrels. I was thinking of ordering their barrel and having them fit it to the action.
Just to mention, I am looking at this caliber because I already have several 30 cal magnums as well as 375’s. I also have a 308 Norma that shoots quite well.
Thanks in advance!
The 358 Norma is a wonderful cartridge. The 35 Whelen when loaded to its FULL potential is almost the equal of 358 factory loads but I think the 358 Norma could be loaded with modern powders to make it really shine.
Bob
