Will the 225 ab work in the 358 or is it too long? Anyone have any experience on this?

Pop,

I recently loaded 225 grain Accubonds in my .358. The OAL was 2.780 inches and velocities were acceptable. My best group was with 47 grains of Varget ignited with WLR primers. Velocity at tht charge was 2282 +/- 2. Group size was 0.73 inches. I have not tried it again as I am being interrupted by the opening of moose and black bear. Nevertheless, I do believe this will make a fine load for the .358.
