I am shooting a 358 Winchester in a Ruger Hawkeye with a 22 inch barrel, I tried some Barnes X bullets and did some chronograph work with that bullet. I got 2510 fps, I am sure that would open it up quite nicely. I shot a wolf with the 225 Sierra at 65 yds, the bullet bore a big hole all the way...

I'm going to be hunting moose and black bear, after doing a bit of research, I found that a lot of 358 shooters like the 225 grain Sierra.

What is the best bullet and powder recipe for the 358 Winchester 8)

I would check the scope and the action screws, but I am thinking it is more of a bedding issue. Remington rifles have a factory pressure point at the end of the wood in the barrel channel. I have lots of Remington rifles and they always benefit with a free floating barrel. If you can't slip a...

I have noticed that Winchester and Federal primers are slightly different in size, this may explain the loose fit in the primer pocket. Sticky bolt lift is one sign of high pressure, perhaps your rifle has a tight chamber.

I loaded up some "copper" bullets and was surprised to get 2510 fps over the chrony out of my Ruger Hawkeye 358. I am bringing my son out to get his first bear this fall, the 358 will be the rifle he will be using. I believe it will be enough to flatten the big blackies we get out here. 8)

I was looking for a Savage 99 in 358 Win when I found my new Ruger Hawkeye in 358. If a Savage version ever shows up, I will snap it up. 8)

I shot a big wolf with my Hawkeye 358, the 225 Sierra went in under his chin at about 60 yds. The slug came out the left ham on the leg, he went down like a big of rocks.

That's some impressive speed with those big slugs, I get 2500 fps shooting the Barnes 225 X bullet, so that velocity is definitely doable in the 358 Winchester.

I checked the primer with a magnifying glass, there is a split from top to bottom on the primer itself. it looks just like a neck split but on the primer.

If it had a flash hole burr, why didn't it happen on the first firing?? This brass was once fired Federal out of the same rifle......

All of the other primers fired without a hitch, all fired ones had the radius on the primer with no flattening or cratering. The blown one had a small streak of black on the outside of the primer betweeen the outside of the primer and the pocket. The primer looks normal, except for the pinhole...

The 30-06 load was 55 grains of IMR 4350 under a Hornady 165 grain flatbase bullet, this is 2.5 grains off max according to the Hornady manual. The other exact loads shot without incident, this makes me believe that there may have been something odd with the primer or the pocket. I have been...

I reloaded a 30-06 once fired Federal case, it was loaded for the same rifle it had been fired from everything went well until I fired it. I got a back gases from the case, it didn't rupture the primer, but the escaping gas seemed to come out of the side of the primer?? The primer looked fine...
