Just a heads up, 358 Win ammo is actually available right now, targetsports has a few cases of Win factory 200gr.

I am sure I misspoke earlier that my 99 is actually a 1/12 not 1/14. Be Well, RZ.

I'm a big fan of the .358 Winchester... IME it kills way beyond the paper ballistics. I have had a dozen or so over the years, but currently shoot a Ruger M77 Mark II Frontier and an M77 Mark II Carbine (1 of 25)... and I am in the process of building a Ruger No.1 International in .358. I have found there is no need for more than 50.0 grains of W748 under a 200 grain SP... this load has been accurate in every rifle that I have tried it in and absolutely pounds game. I would post pictures but my file sizes appear to be too large to upload.

GH, what didn’t ya like about 16”? Just bought a 358 with a 16”, gettin the stock dippped and the action/barrel Cerakoted, haven’t shot it yet The 1~16" twist is fine if you wish to shoot 200 gr. bullets. It may even shoot 225's. I don't know, haven't tried it yet. I'm having yet another built with a 1~14" twist. Ostensibly for cast bullets. I tried my Ruger 77 TS with 250 gr. and they didn't even resemble a group. I admit, it kind of soured me on the 1~16. I have two .350 Rem Mags both with 1~16" and they both shoot fine. Especially with 225 Nosler Partitions. I"ve had three M-700 Classics in .35 Whelen, (1~16") but never could warm up to them. If I ever build another Whelen, it will have 1~14". But at my age, I likely never will. I only hunt W/T deer and 200 gr bullets work just fine. My next foray hunting with .35 cal, I think I'll try the 220 gr. SPEER FN. I have a rebored Ruger #3 in .356 Win. 1~16" Thinking that just might be a good candidate for the 220 Speer.  GH

Copy I went 12” on my whelen. The 16” 358 I bought done, hopefully it shoots the 225 sgk as like like how they behave on critters. My RAR 358 I think is 14” and it shoots em great

I have a BLR 358. Any luck loading 225 Accubonds? According to Nosler some magazines will not accommodate the Accubond.
