Just picked up a 1957 , 99. 300 Savage. I have Etip 150 and Hornady 150 interlocks, 165 Sierra go. I have Tac, Blc-2, 3130, Re 15. Read in bandleader magzine of Tac with 125 it's giving high velocity, and Re 15 fast with 165s. Any advice/wisdom on this. Seems some of the newer powders...

I would happily use my .358 winny, putting a 225 partition on that dot or a little left. Sitting, using sticks.

Gentlemen, how would this bullet or the 250 partition do for .358 Winchester velocities? 20 Inch BLR.

I find blacktails the most challenging deer to hunt.

Really nice rifle. I like the heftier barrel profile. Should be really steady.

My Browning BLRs. For a good action clean, I take off the butt stock and forarm and blast it clean with brake cleaner. Then a light relubing. Have to do the barrel from the muzzle.

I would think, in the end, any would work well. I like 225's, but that's for elk. Wouldn't change for deer.

First thing that came to my mind was 300 H&H to go with 375 H&H

I could like that an awful lot in .338 Federal or a .358 Win.

Hmm a few I can think of: Sako Black Bear in 9.3x62 Segley style 35 Whelen Springfield. I have the donor rifle waiting. .280 AI Ltwt Mountain rifle. .338-06 Ltwt Mountain rifle to match above.

It was a successful hunt at " with Grandpa".

The rig was as good as I had hoped. I do not think the 225 did much if any expanding though. The 200 tsx might be better, but I have only a sample of one to go by. Likely will not matter. I'm in the new house now and will be setting up my reloading station soon. I have a couple hundred each...

As a follow up to this, it worked out well. At the range I chose the 225 Gr tsx load as it grouped 1.25 inch without much adjustment. The Sierra 225 was high and right 6 inches, but did group at an inch. The bullet did its job on my bull. quartering away a bit. Entered mid rib cage forward...

Sounds an ideal load combo Sam.

.358 Win Carbine----- Deer to Moose 30-06 General purpose----Deer to Moose .338-------------------------Alaska. I won't need to worry about Africa.

165 Sierra does well in my BLR also. Max load of R15, Fed 210 primer. Consistent 3/4 inch for 3 shots every time. Barrel heats to much after that. Has been a good deer load.

Sam, I just reread the spec's. They claim 2500 fps so, I'd guess 2450 in mine. Seems I should be in good shape with either. Will see how the rifle likes them.

Silent Sam, that did cross my mind. Where I hunt, Elk pop up like Grouse, and are gone just as quick. Mostly never a perfect broadside. I would never put a first shot in the south end of an Elk, but good penetration on hard angles is handy. Would have preferred to find 225 PT's but this will...

Well I ordered some Buffalo Bore .358 Win. 225 Sierra and TSX. Have many 225/250 Partitions to load, but packed up loading gear several months ago in anticipation of a move that is taking to long. I won't be able to this year. Any thoughts? Shooting a 20 inch BLR. Roosevelt Elk in timber...

Good going guys. Big zilch for me. Didn't expect much as I filled my cow tag last year in SW Wa. Have to settle for hunting bone this year. I'm happy with that. Need to christen my .358!
