Good luck Richard and hope you get something with that nice .358 Winchester. I never heard of the .358 until an old friend showed me his Browning BLR (steel frame) with an empty box of Winchester 200 grain Silvertips . He hasn't shot it for years because he can't find ammo for it. So I bought some Lee dies for .358 and used his shell casings. He was thrilled when I brought him over his old box plus some extra cases I bought and reloaded for him.
I've shot the BLR dialing in the scope and what a nice round and gun. It printed some nice groups and the recoil really wasn't as bad I thought it would be compared to my 30-06. I have the new Super grade Model 70 with the pre-'64 style controlled-round feed and new designed trigger action.
This round has a cult following and seems to be gaining some popularity.
I have in the past looked for one but since reading your post I've searched again the auction sites for .358 Winchester model 70 pre '64.
You are a bad influence!
