I have a blued unfired takedown pistol grip[browning] that I will part with and loads are plenty ,,,,,,IMR 4895 or TAC both with 49 grains with magnum primer shoot extremely well with no pressure indicators whatsoever my go -to load over 225 partition or sierra 225 or woodleighs@ 2500fps ,Hornady makes an accurate 200 grain spire point that is an awesome slayer also along with the silvertips in 200 grain for factory stuff

The brownings have short throat so ensure to keep back to 2.670 for COL ..this ensures reliable feeding and no pressures


the above recipe is max loads so back off and work up to that load ,,,,,every rifle is different so exercise caution
 
Don't bother trying to find 358 brass just neck up 308 brass by running it through a 358 full lenth sizing die, I do this and easily get close to ten loadings from a case.
Plenty of good loads listed everywhere, my Ruger Frontier loves 250 Hornady's with 40 grains of IMR 4198.
In my opinion its a waist of money to buy expensive bullets, Hornady interlocks Sierra Game kings or Speers will do every thing needed at the velocities of the .358
Another good one is the 205 grain gas checked hard cast from The Bullet Barn, deadly on deer.
Also a good semi close range varmit gun. Load the 158 grain Hornady XTP pistol bullet [designed for about 1200 fps] up to 2700, its quite accurate and terminal performance is extreme.
