I was looking through an old American Hunter magazine I came across a picture showing cartrdge headstamps.
One caught my eye as being one I had never heard of and I can't find it inany of my books.
It was stamped358win mag R-P.
We all know what R-P means but I'm lost on the rest of the headstamp.
It was very plain so I know it didn't say Norma or 338 or 350Rem mag
Has anyone heard of this cartridge?

something is screwy here.....there's no such thing as a .358 Win Mag

.338 win mag, .358 Norma Mag, .358 Win, are all valid cases.....there's an error here somewhere.

Well Vapo beat me to it. No such thing as the 358 win mag. Are you sure it said mag?

Can you scan the pic and post it?

It could be Rem.-Peters
The .358Win. was introduced in 1955, two years after the .358x57.
The .358 is 50yrs old this year.
