Hey .358, What kind of .358 do you have. My dad shoots one of those elephant guns. Ammo is not cheap..

RE: BAR vs. A bolt
 

Cybersniper, actually I have 4 , two Browning Blr's, an 88 win.(rebored from .308) and a 99 savage. I hand load for mine. But, since browning has reintroduced the Cal. ammo might get cheaper. To get top performance though reloading is the only way to go.

The one I use the most is the Browning Blr. I have shot 17 black bear with the one rifle and many wild hogs. I use 53/748/.250 speer's @ 2350 for this purpose and never had a bear go more than 20 ft. most fall on the spot. Since I retired money is tight and I'm going to sell the others, people are calling alreadyand I can only hunt with one at a time.

I don't understand how people got the idea the .358 is a kicker, it isn't, about like a .308. .225 grn bullets are a good compromise for the guy who wants to use it on a variety of game and the 180's.220's and 200's really flatten deer, but two fifty yards is a pratical limit. Send me an e-mail sometime and I will send some pictures of bear's I've shot with this little rifle. Good hunting !
