I can't find 175gr Hornady bullets in .358 to begin with!? The data I can find is for 180gr bullets, and none of them break the 2800 fps mark from a 24" barrel, I'd be a little suspicious of something that says "2900."

Assuming the 180 gr FTX has a similar BC as the 180 gr SSP bullet, velocity of 2900, max 4" high/low, and scope height 1.5", the MPBR is about 275 yds.

I did not see a 180 FTX on Hornady's site. I'd be tempted to use their 200 gr FTX anyway.
