358 winchester
« on: December 10, 2012, 07:27:38 PM »
G'day all from Australia
I've only just joined up, first post!! I found this site by accident, someone here was enquiring  about 358 Winchester, my favorite caliber. I have a custom L579 Sako, I use 308 Lapua palmer cases with the small rifle primer, you can’t hurt them ADI 2206H, 225gn Accubond I have them going out at 2640fps, love it. I also use 225 Sierra game kings at 2420 fps, they don’t hold together as well but they still kill with authority. The 358 win is a great, under rated caliber, easy to load, easy on the shoulder and kills with very little meat damage. Handles everything this country has to offer including huge scrub bulls.
Regards
Bob

ADI 2206H is the same as Hodgdon H4895.

I don't get to take many photo's, I have enough trouble carring my rifle & meat out. This was a nice yearling for the freezer. I'm not a trophy hunter, I eat what I shoot.

Welcome to this site!  Yes , those 358's, or anything on the 308 platform are great!  How hard would it be for a visiting American to hunt Oz, in a do it yourself fashion?

Oh, on a side note, just had Vegemite 4 weeks ago, friend from Oz brought it over.   I do not understand how folks can eat that for breakfast, and I even had beer to wash it down with  :chuckle:

I think you'd be OK. I don't know about bringing a rifle in but I believe guys do! We have pretty good fishing over here too.
Vegemite !!! born with it, ha ha. Good grilled on  toast with cheese too!!!
