Re: Browning BLR Takedown in 358 Winchester has a new load

I'm not much of a fan of the blr but anything .358 win. gets my attention...... and it is also good to see 4198 being used.....despite the different speeds, 4198 is to the .358 what 3031 is to the 30-30..... as for the barnes, perhaps some of our californios will advise, especially those who are fo...

Re: 358 Winchester bullets

What Thunder 50 said. Those are made for the 35 Remington and you are talking low 35 Rem velocities, so bullets built for it should be ideal. Another option if you don't mind the possibility of them going "splat" on a big hog are 180 grain 357 mag bullets that all the makers produce. And ...

The Hornet is probably one of the best single shot small caliber centerfire cartridges ever.
