Good news!! Just found a good supply of North Fork .358 cal. bullets in 225grn weight. Working up loads now. Very good results so far with groups well under 1 MOA. Also have some 200grn pills to work with. The North Forks are very good. Hope to try them on feral pigs when I get back from Namibia next month..I will be using my .358 BLR on Black Bear this fall in Michigan and in May in Saskatchewan
It drops whitetail in their tracks when I shoulder shoot them (which I do with bucks so they don't run off the property and die)
The .358 is very under appreciated
The .35 Remington was extremely popular in Remington model 8/81s and Marlin lever guns. My dad was a huge fan of the .358 Win though it never really caught on.Just not much to love about that caliber, 35 has never been very popular in the USA, 358 is slow and brush calibers per say are a joke, the 35 Whelen being an exception I suggest...the 30-06 reigns in the East, west north and South and resale effects 358s..all that and its a decent caliber or shoud I say orphan..
Sorry to disagree with you sir. The .358 Winchester is a sadly overlooked round. The pressures were held down on purpose as some gun writing hacks back in the day said it had horrible recoil. Really? while in the same breath saying the 300 Win Mag was a comfortable round to shoot. It doesn't have any more recoil than a 30-06 with the same weight bullet. Comparing against FACTORY loads in the 35 Whelen, with careful hand loading, you can come within 100fps with the 358. I've used it on game in Africa up to Eland. It preforms all out of convention and what the paper ballistics says it should. I know of one guide in Alaska who carries one for brown bear and has used it to good effect. Short range/brush round? With 180grn bullets you can near match 30=06 velocities. Anyone want to call the 30-06 a brush round? I'll keep shooting my 358 and never feel under gunned. It's one of my favorite medium bore rounds.Just not much to love about that caliber, 35 has never been very popular in the USA, 358 is slow and brush calibers per say are a joke, the 35 Whelen being an exception I suggest...the 30-06 reigns in the East, west north and South and resale effects 358s..all that and its a decent caliber or shoud I say orphan..
Amen brother Rosch. I've always been of the opinion that the 358 would be an outstanding driven boar hunt rifle. Quick cycling short action that hits like Thor's hammer!! Couldn't have said it better. All the best to you and many great hunts to come.I ordered a custom 358 Win about 20 years ago because I wanted a handy with short barrel gun for everydays business. I really wondered why so many were talking bad about that actually good looking compact cartridge shooting a 200 grain bullet on 2600 fps with 358 dia. What the hell could be wrong with those parameters?
My experience is, there is nothing wrong with that cartridge, on the contrary it is my favorite rifle on hog and deer. Heres more to look at: It fits standard action, uses standard brass, loads „easy to get“ and afordable premium bullets, takes medium gun powders with good results, doesnt waste much meat because of mint hämatomes, is easy on recoil and kills fast and successfull anything around here You shoot at. Anybody‚s having trouble with that wonderfull mini big bore (which is not too far away from 9,3 and .375) should overthink his doing! If one looks for an allday universal rifle for „normal“ hunting here in Europe You will do fine with this cartridge!

Yes….that seems the real trouble….once bad mouthing started, all others follow the bloodtrail unproven! Woodcartridge? Yes, You can use the 358 Win in woods or brush with great success…….but not only!You will find with enough questioning, that most who bad mouth it have never owned and hunted with one. Once prejudice sets in (started by gun rag writers who never owned or hunted with one) it is awfully hard to change.
Yeah, I‘m sort of crumpy old man, who buys his underwear in the same old fashioned shop for many years now! New things first must do good for me before I even consider them as excisting!lso, Lapua makes a 185 grain hollow point for the 9.3 x 62 that works great on deer and hogs if you want a lighter bullet option.
