I gave my bro a .356 M94 for a 'carry gun' while hiking with his wife. The 11 pound .50 cal. Sharps was a bit much for walk-abouts.
Best load and the one he uses for guiding & which has now killed 5 or 6 wounded moose, is a 250gr. Hornady, seated deeply over 46gr. H335. This gives him 2,158fps and will hold 1 1/8" to 1 1/2" at 100 meters off the bags with a 2X scope. It is very accurate. A Lee crimp die is suggested as a very heavy crimp is needed to hold the bullets. the heavily compressed charge prevents them from being seated more deeply in the case.
The factory .356 Win. 250gr. that I chrono'd only made 1,850fps form the 20" bl. The load I list above does not produce excessive pressure in my (his) gun.

Although all the gun writers say the .356 had less capacity and therefore must not be used with .358 data, a lot of .356 data exceeds .358 data - go figure.
