The .356 with 250gr. Hornady RN worked splendidly for deep penetration on our moose. My brother used it for years, guiding, having to kill about 3 to 4 wounded moose a year with it - always splendid work - whether broadside or from the hind leg forward on a rapidly departing moose - always to break the far leg and down.
46.0gr.H335 was my load developed for him, CCI250 primer, WW Super brass. I flattened the noses of the bullets to make them safe in the magazine. Also, the bullets were all heavily crimped with a Lee Factory Crimp die, necessary to hold them tightly, due to magazine restrictions for length. Full 1005 loading with very slight compression. 2,146fps MV.
