Re: 358 Win.....Good Choice or Dog?

I'm not sure I see a reason to use such heavy weights in the .358 WCF.

The Nosler 225gr partition is plenty of bullet for anything you'd use a .358 on.
It'll allow for reasonable velocity, great bullet upset and penetration, with less recoil than the heavy weights. A point to concider in those petite little 99's and modest bolt guns.

You can toss the 225 grainer 2450+fps and get less than 10" drop at 300 yards with a 200 yard zero.
Up close and personal in the bushes, it'll crush heavy shoulders, shred lungs and leave a blood trail a child could follow. The Nosler will expand up close and far away. A pretty good all around choice.

Mine will see duty on elk and an occasional deer. BT
