If it is anything like the 35 Remington it ought to be a great round. A friend has a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington and out to 100-150 yards it packs a wallop on anything it its way. One nice thing that I have heard and read about the 358 round is that it is big enough of a bullet that you can shoot inexpensive bullets (Core Lokts, Power Points etc.) with great success even on large animals. I have always wanted to shoot one myself to see what the recoil is like. Maybe I will ask that friend this weekend if I see him while elk hunting.
