Thanks for that,... I'll have to give the IMR4320 a try. I've been thinking about trying TAC aswell,.. sounds like guys are getting good results with it in the 358win.

I wish I could get my hands on some Rem. CL RN and SP,.. great bullets
My most accurate load is 200gr Hornady SP over 47gr of IMR3031,.. 210fed. The 200 RN Hornady,.. 220 FP Speer, with the same recipe,.. and the factory loaded Hornady 200 SP,.. all share the same point of impact with in less than an inch,.. makes it easy if I want to switch from my hand loads to factory loads.
Picked up a mint, unfired tang safety Ruger 77 late last fall. I put a couple rounds through her, but it is not even properly sighted in yet. As others have mentioned, the 35's as a whole are great. I also have a Remington 700 Classic in 350 Rem Mag and the same in a 35 Whelen.
Yupp. I've done it before with milk jugs. 270 win usually gets to the 3rd or 4th jug and stays in the jug.

was there ever a Ruger No. 1 in .358 Win released?
Well the 358 is way under rated by the shooting world but us hunters know the power and reliability of a good 358 cal bullet.
I have owned a Winchester 88 in 358,a Winchester per 64 featherweight in 358,a savage 99 feather weight in 358 and two browning blr in 358,I wish I still had them all,great stoppers of game,if you shot straight it was dead period.Had another kind of 358 but on a contender rifle in 35-444 marlin,also a couple 350 mag Remington 600s .Moose dear bear were afraid,225 gr or 250 gr. hand loads sure did the trick.I wish I still had all of them.Still have a new factory Savage 99 featherweight barrel in 358 looking to put on a good rifle
for my next bear hunt quink,quink.One of the best there is under 300 yards period.

not fair to compare a lever rifle to a bolt.
This is absolutely correct; it's not a fair comparison. As a hunting rifle for use with a medium-range cartridge like the .358, the BLR is worlds ahead of any bolt action rifle. A bolt gun might be slightly more accurate, but not enough to make a difference up to 300 yards or so on the type of game on which this cartridge would be used. Similarly, a bolt gun would probably make it easier to get a perfect clean, crisp trigger pull...but the BLR is handier, more slender, faster to get into action from an empty-chamber condition and faster on follow-up shots for those who worry about that.
The .358Win in a BLR is one of those perfect rifle/cartridge match-ups.
.338Fed? Pffft!
a BLR Chambered in " 338 FEDERAL " would be a GREAT rifle for sure !
