358 Winchester

Curiosity mainly, I've seen mention of a few other people using them.
A local company machines 225gr copper mono HP, which is can use to make a load similar to Buffalo Bore's.
Other options I'm thinking is 250gr sub-x for feral pigs and 158gr HP for varmint

I've got a Brno ZKK-601 with a twenty inch barrel, the same one in my avatar. It stops blacktails instantly here on Vancouver Island, so there's no tracking in wet bush. I use 200gr interlocks for deer, and I took a moose with it using 250gr Speer, about 80 yrds uphill. Put it into his brisket and it came out his back behind the hump. What impressive performance for a bullet doing 2250, lots of internal damage! The target is a five shot group, it seems to love the 4198.

Cannot push that Big 310 Woody bullet any where near fast enough to make it expand properly - Pick another lighter weight bullet to make the 358 Win effective.

I see you used H335, always wanted to try it, have a big jug for the 222. Looks like it pushes the 250's very well. Thanks for the post, and the food for thought.

That load is quite zesty so make sure you start a lot lower.I see you used H335, always wanted to try it, have a big jug for the 222. Looks like it pushes the 250's very well. Thanks for the post, and the food for thought.
And I have had great success with the Speer 220 gr Hot Cor FP over the years, both with accuracy and on-game performance. One and done on bull elk called in to 70, 70 and 90 yards!

Wow!
Ouch! $2100.00 seems like a pile of Jake!......
I guess we pay to play.......
Definitely a beautiful rifle, and caliber!......https://ruger.com/products/HawkeyeHunter/specSheets/67107.html
Yeup, $1499.00 USD does work out to be close to $2143.00 CDN.
I guess the shooting sports industry is now for the wealthy!.......
The Ruger MSRP after exchange would be higher than I paid delivered to me in canada is a win in my books. Especially compared to what guys want for anything used chambered for 358 win in canada. Going to see if i can get any accuracy out of these in a 358 win.

I agree, and I'm in no way foo-fooing your deal, or your gorgeous new rifle which I love by the way.......
It's just seems the hunting/shooting sports appears to be for the wealthy.....
How much is too much? $2000.00, $3000.00, $4000.00, $5000.00? When do these insane prices stop?......
I'm fortunate to have most of the firearms I want or need in my collection. At close to 65, I enjoy them and shoot them quite often. But what about the new younger generation who want to start hunting/shooting etc.? Obviously it's a plan, by the Liberals, elitist's, and other controlling people to eventually stop our firearms industry in it's tracks.....
Most younger Canadians will never own a home, Trudy wants everyone to own nothing and be happy!....
Since the Covid-19 Scam, the entire world has gone crazy!...Will this insanity ever stop?..........

It's not the size of the weapon, or the length of your barrel, it's the fire of the attack!.......
