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

This is the first forum I've been with, not sure what I'm doing!!! Can't see the photo in preview?
ADI 2206H is the same as Hodgdon H4895.

I'll have a look when I get home :rolleyes: or maybe tomorrow. I have some somewhere, my Nephew shot a huge scrub bull (cattle gone wild) last week up in the Cape, very tough dangerous animal in the wild. this pig is one of his.

And I recently bought a Savage rifle and plan to make it into a switch barrell with the 358 Win being one of 3 calibers that I end up with.

Welcome to the site and great set of first posts. This is my first year hunting with the 338 Federal, very similar to your 358 Win. I've been shooting 200 grain Accubonds at around 2570 fps. I really like that caliber and agree with you on your assessment of the qualities of the 358.

I neck size 308 Lapua palmer cases for all my calibers that are based on the 308 case. They have a small rifle primer and I can't hurt them, I'm way over max with my 358 win 225gn pills @ 2640fps , no sign of pressure I've re loaded the same cases at least 15 times. I like 225gn Accubonds for long range but you can't beat Woodleighs, not as high BC but perfect out to 300yds.

I didn't mention, that first stag is a Samba - Rusa cross. I've shot a lot of them here, the one hanging from the tree is a big Rusa yearling. There's heaps of pigs over here, my mates catch them with dogs, I don't shoot them until I've shot the deer I'm after.
Here's a pic of how I camp, I throw a tarp over a rope stretched between two trees. Normaly sleep on the ground in a swag, had the roof tent this time.
Cheers
Bob

I'm looking for a case catcher to put on my bolt action rifle, it's a 6.5x47 Lapua necked up to 30 cal awesome caliber spits out 150gn 308's @ 3000fps with 44gns of powder. The cases are sized up & neck turned so I don't want to loose any while hunting.
Cheers
Bob
