358 UMT, and 416 UMT any one have info on these calibers?

WagMag...I like it! I wonder how fast you could make those 286 TSX fly out of the case? Paging Douglas the powder-stuffer...new project for you.

Brings to mind another point, I haven't heard any update on where things are at with the previously 'proposed' .366 Wagner memorabilia. Any news at all??

That's gone silent again. My SIL is in advertising and I asked her about the tin signs but she hasn't gotten back to me. Best shoot her another text.

I did jump the gun a little. When I was making up some initial reloads for a recently acquired Zastava M-70 Mannilcher in ".366 Wagner" I printed out a couple of appropriate sized prints and taped them to my first two boxes.

For the box loaded using an IMR 4320 load,



And, for the box loaded using IMR 4064.



Not a solution but better than a kick with a frozen boot.Did have a couple of guys at the range asking about 'the calibre' though.

Nice pics Johnn! Those are priceless. That has to be one of the coolest photos of Mr. Wagner in action.

Details?? Not familiar with it but how would it compare to the 358 Norma Magnum?

358 Shooting Times ALASKAN is a most excellent 35 cal cartridge - and as said it is the 8mm Rem mag necked up to 35 cal ! It is a BIT more powerfull then the 358 Norma but prob not any REAL difference in the field ! Just a KOOL named cartridge ! RJ

Thanks for the info. Definately sounds like very interesting and credible cartridge,but I have two in 358NM that haven't had experience with me in the field. Thanks again RJ.

My intent and one of the next move with my Zastava in .366 Wagner is to get that calibre designation engraved on it.

I'm planning the same thing on my M98. There is an engraving place in town that I might check out.

I would think a trophy supply shop and/or a jewelery shop should be able to handle something like that. A duck hunting friend, who has a 10ga. SxS similar to mine, had "Duck F**ker" engraved on his at a jewelery shop in a town near by. That jeweler was a firearms enthusiast but no longer owns that store so presently at that store, who knows. I'll have to hunt around and inquire.
