358 winchester

[Outlaw99]

Anyone on here have much experience with this round? I impulse bought a used Winchester model 70 in 358 Winchester. Curious about others experience with them

Should be a real good round within 250-300 yds.

I hope so. Looking for something a little flatter shooting than my 45-70

That would’ve gotten me, too. Should be a hell of a bear or elk rifle. What bullet you thinking?

Not sure why the 338’s and 358’s never caught on.

Not exactly sure…maybe 220g ttsx….

I just built one on a savage axis, Shaw 20" fluted threaded muzzle.
I'm getting a bit better than an inch group at 100 and 2390°FPS, with a Hammer 215 THH.
The only thing I shot with it so far was a 4x4 whitetail buck at 280-ish yards. Crushed both front shoulders. No tracking needed.

what kind of drop are you getting between 2-300 yards? 200 yard zero?

I zeroed at 2" high at 100. I can hit my 8" gong at 300 by aiming at the top of the gong.
When I shot the deer, I was still on hair with my crosshairs. It's not a dial-up scope or have hash marks.
It hit dead center shoulder.
