While I am still thinking about it. In regards to the .358 Winchester. My wife carried one on and off for five years in Alaska, (though it was a Model 99 Savage...no longer available new). When loaded with a good 250 grain bullet it made a very good intermediate range Moose rifle and provided a healthy margain of power in the event of " bumping" into big bear. And it did all of this with a recoil level that was more than tolerable for her. Even though the cartridge never caught on well with the general public, many guides and professionals use it and think highly of it. (A number of years ago the Alaska Fish and Game Department thought enough of it to issue it to their personnel for protection against big bears. Good protection...moderate recoil....moderate ranging ability, a very good combination indeed!)
