Ruger M77 .358 Win Carbine
- Thread starter 4fifty8
- Start date
Burns about 40 gr's of powder give or take mild report compared to my .416 B burns 115+ gr's the blast with muzzle brake is awe-inspiring. 
Sighted-in next week & take it hunting my .358 Win BLR with 310gr Woodleigh's works pretty good on game, surprisingly well beyond its ballistics on paper, so should my M77 carbine.

Nikon 3-9x for target shooting with low cost 180gr CamPro plated bullets @ ~1600 fps mv. Used the medium height ring mounts included with the rifle.
Instead of dicken around re-adjusting zero on my Leupold 4x which will be zeroed using Woodleigh 310gr for hunting. Makes use of the ring mounts QD feature using a loonie whatever. Zero remains pretty much spot on.

That is a Beauty bolt 358Win 
Probably my two favourite moose rifles: 358Win + 9.6x62
358 Win I found very easy to reload for: ended up with 220gr Speer SPs @ 2470fps with W748/40.0, and same POA/POI 158gr XTPs with RL7/40.0 @ 2500fps for fun stuff; both silly accuracy ...
I would have liked a Bolt gun in 358 Win but ended up with a stainless BLR when they 1st came out and it has been flawless for almost 2 decades. The Tikka 9.3 has Grade 2.5 wood and I use a Wildcat stock when hunting - to save it
Enjoy your 358 Win! I'm looking forward to loading up some 310gr Ws in future, when I can find/get some,and will be following your story ...

Limited production run could be decades before the M77 .358 Win is back if ever again.
Got handloads made up & scopes bore-sighted, all set to hit the range to see how it performs.
See Reloading section for details & results.

Is that easy to do???Worked a bit of magic on the LC6 trigger like on my other M77's got pull weight down to about 3 lbs from what seemed like about 6 lbs. Creep begone breaks real clean.
The 358 is a great caliber, I had my BLR at the range 2 weeks ago and the grouping was very good with 2 bullets in virtually the sand spot on the paper.
Enjoy the new gun and please show us comparison grouping with both rifles. My Browning seems quite accurate with its 3.5-10 leupold scope.

My M77 groups as shown my BLR about the same: https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/threads/reloading-358-win-ruger-m77-carbine.2592053/
Should do better after my trigger fix.

Nice. I love the 358 win.
I have an older Ruger frontier but use an lpvo on it not a scout scope. I use it for regular commercial ammo (200 gr Hornady and Winchester).
I use Buffalo Bore out of my blr stainless takedown, also with an lpvo but this year I almost tried a scout scope again just to ensure no zero shift. I really don't find it shifts a lot when taken down even with a standard design scope.
How did you do the Ruger trigger job ?
