Based on my experience I would not ever use a 250 grain bullet in the 358, and I would try to use a relatively soft bullet or there will be no expansion.

That has been my experience as well, but the 225 grain Woodleighs expand nicely.

Sounds like there are no good heavies in .358?

I shoot 285 grain bullets in my 9.3x57 at a muzzle speed of 2100 fps and I have gotten superb results on deer, black bear and elk at from bayonet distance out to 200 meters.

A good 250 would be very useful in the .358. If all the available bullets are too "hard", try hollow-pointing them. I have gotten very dramatic improvement in expansion hollow-pointing 196 grain 8mms.
