Got this in the mail this morning, thought some of you might be interested.


Great Shots Newsletter

We are excited to announce the addition of the .358 WIN to our growing lineup of new rifle brass. To continue to meet customer demand, we're now producing .308 WIN, .358 WIN and .444 Marlin, and will soon offer .243 WIN, .338 Federal, 7mm-08 and .260 Remington.

Based on the .308 WIN, the .358 WIN was introduced in 1955 for use in lever-action and bolt-action rifles. The .358 has not been as popular as other .308-based cartridges, but its brush-busting capabilities make it an excellent choice for hunting any of North America’s big game. The .358 is becoming more popular along with AR-10 style rifles, offering a little more power than the .308.

Cool,
I was looking for commercial .308 brass a couple years ago and had a heck of a time finding any. Nice to see some production of calibers other than military stuff.

Might pick up some 444 Marlin brass - I've got a couple good leverguns, and enough bullets to last years, and it seems to do ok with about any powder in a pinch.

Ive always just used necked up .308 brass using a 35 Whelen expanding plug for the 358 and I would do the same if I even run across any other cartridges using the 308 parent case. But that's me, it's a free country on how people spend their money.---6
