Looking for 358 win loads

I use Win 748 for loads using my own bullets. This powder worked very well for my 200 grain bullets, but I can't quite get the velocity I'd like out of it for my 220's and 225's. I've beem loading 48 grains of it in the 225's but can't get any more in the case and maintain the OAL for feeding in the BLR. I use 53.7 when loading 200 grainers.

I've bought some H335 and AA2520 that I plan to try out in this cartridge.
 
Hello,

The following load is one that I use in my 358 Win and appears to be safe in my gun.
This load may not be safe in your gun.
I suggest that you reduce your load by 10% for starters.

Browning BLR with 20" bbl
Win 358 brass
Sierra 225 gr BT
WLRM primer
51.0 gr IMR 4895
Measured velocity is 2550 fps +/-
The first 3 shots measure about 1.25" center to center.

This load has accounted for 10-12 Moose and several Deer.

The Nosler #3 reloading manual calls for 49.5gr to achieve 2530 fps. It took 1.5gr more in my gun to achieve the same velocity.

Good Luck
John
 
I use 46.5gr of IMR4064 behind a Hornady 200gr SP in my Model 88 (reformed .308 brass). This produces consistent 1" groups at 100 metres. I have not shot a deer with it yet, but I am confident it will do the job.

Good luck and have fun.

You must be thinking of the 350 Rem, not the 358 Win. :rolleyes:

Those loads will not fit into a 358 Win case.
