Hallo Woodbeef:

an aquaintance of me had shot the flanged version of the .358Win., the .356.Win. for years in a Browning or Marlin lever-action rifle. He was very satisfied about the effect of the 200 or 225gr. Winchester Silver-tip buillet for wild-boars.
I shoot since 12 years the old 9x57Mauser, the ballistics with the lighter buillets are compairable with the ballistic of the .358Win., just the Win. needs a lot of pressure more to reach the same balistic facts.
Difficult will it be, when you will shoot heavier buillets than 225gr. The case-capacity of the .358Win. is very low for a cartrige with such a big diameter. Heavier and longer buillets, like the 250gr. or heavier reduced the powder-space.
180-225gr. are the ideal buillet-weights. With this buillets you can shoot all medium-size games on the northern half-globe, and all thin skinned games in Africa too, when you donīt have to shoot over 200yds distances.
For me, the .358Win, also the 9x57 and the .35Whelen are one of the best medium-size calibres ever made.

regards
Manolito
(friend of .350 cal.)
