358 Winchester - too much for whitetail deer?

[Gunoholic]

The 358 Winchester cartridge with a task appropriate load recipe loaded into a properly maintained and set up rifle with the right person holding it will make clean kills on any animal in North America.
And YES I am including the great bears in that statement.

I don't think it's too big. I'm more of a Whelen fan though. You won't think it's too big when a 375 lb buck with a 30" wide rack steps out...

358win and appropriate load?
It offers such a wide mouth, hard not to filler'up.

Just curious?????????? Toooo much what?........awwwsumness?

recoil..............

 

[two-dogs]

Any idea in who has any of the above mentioned in stock? They seem to be impossible to find around here and anywhere I have looked on line lately...

I sold mine (BLR 358) at the last gun show. I had it for wild boar, but gave up on them, there is none around anymore that make themselves visible in the day light, at least!

Just put one of your maxi pads under your bra and you will be fine.....

Never seen a deer that my 336C in 35 Rem wouldn't drop.
Nice big bodied spike horn bull in 2009 didn't know what hit him.
Dropped like a bag of hammers.
You can still get Hornady and green box factory ammo for the 35 Rem.
I use 158 grain SWCs ahead of a few grains of "red dot" in a 35 Rem case to hunt grouse and rabbits.
Don't know why I'd need a 356, 358, 35 Whelen or 350 Rem Mag to do the same job.
Some people erroneously think that MV + ME can make up for judgement and skill

Pretty kewl how the rifling wanders back to the bolt.
And the built in tach, holy jeezbus, yer styl'in.

and 6500 rpm, too! Awesome.

Just put one of your maxi pads under your bra and you will be fine.....

[sgt.rock]

Just put TWO of your maxi pads under your less feminine side bra straps and you will be fine.....

They won't hold up to a 358Win.

Belgium Browning BLR + a Savage 99.
Impressive pair of rifles.
They look like they're in amazing condition.

 

[Dorian Gray]

I just drooled all over my keyboard looking at that Savage. 99's are the only savage rifles I actually like and in 358? Wow. Do Want!

Actually, it's not a Belgium BLR, they were only made in Belgium from 1970-1973, and only in 308 and 243.
Production moved to Japan sometime after '73, and sometime after that they were chambered in 358.

They look the same though, the main difference being more of a glossy finish on the Japanese ones.
Only the Belgium BLR's had a hand rubbed oil finish with cut checkering.
