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! |

If there's a better calibre than the 7 X 57 Mauser I'd like to know what it is.

l'll be taking one of my Ruger #1's into camp - either 25.06 or 30.06. Also will be introducing my grandson (the same one who shot his first ducks this fall) to deer hunting. He'll be shooting a left handed Ruger M77 in .270.

I had the 358 out one day and a very nice buck was chaseing a doe but as he was over my self imposed 200yd max with that rifle I just had to enjoy watching him. He was probably a solid 300 yards out but if I had the Weatherby 257 he migh have rested in the freezer. It was a dead calm morning and I had a solid rest. Not an easy shot but not overly difficult either.
It's off to the range with the 270 and 300 H&H....maybe I'll take the 264 Win Mag as well |

I have always liked Sako rifles, I picked up a nifty model 85 last year in .204 it's a little rough on small rodents! Ruger #1 is tough to beat too.
