A .358 Winchester video

[7x57Joe]

Many of you may have already seen this video about the .358 in Africa but, I found it sort of interesting and expect Rick and Bob will too.

Thanks for posting this. It seems like .25s and .35s have very passionate fans. Looks like for good reason.

@7x57Joe
Just goes to show you don't need no fire breathing bitch slapping magnum to take African game.
Good to see he admitted to fluffing a couple of shots.
Those big 250gn Speers are a better bullet than some give them credit for the same as the old 250gn Hornady RNSP
Both those work well even when pushed to 2,700fps out of the Whelen.
The little 358 punches well above its weight.

@Gomer.
Simple reason
They just work and work well.
To me if'n I can take it with my 25 or 35 it can stay standing.

In all honesty, I’m a big fan of 7mm and 30 calibers. There is a lot of overlap there, but I can pick nits enough to justify a few of both. Then there’s my $250 Stevens 200 in 22-250. Probably the most accurate rifle I’ve ever owned. It looks like it’s made of used tractor parts.

HotCor bullets dont get the love they deserve

Those Stevens 200s aka Savage 110s are stupid accurate.
If'n y'all want to make it a sweet shooter call Malcom at Rifle BASIX and get one of his triggers. A five minute install. I have mine set at 2#, no creep or over travell.
I do like the 280 REM, loaded to its potential it's a great round.

@LeftySixgun
When used within their velocity parameters they are an excellent bullet.
In my 25 the 100gn hotcore at over 3,600fps kills fallow deer BUT the meat damage and internal damage is excessive. One fallow I shot at around 200 with that bullet hit the deck at impact. When I went to skin it the offside leg came off with the skin. It was just jelly. No bullet was found but man that damage was unreal.
The 250 hotcore in the Whelen punches big holes in both sides of game usually with no tracking required.

My daughter’s 7mm-08 is shooting a 145 HotCor quite well and plan to take those and some 140gr A-Frames to Africa for her. The rifle is being a little stubborn about shooting the 160 HotCors, but I’m not done testing those yet.
My 30-06 REALLY LIKES the 180gr HotCors!!!

I like the hot core
Mr Bob ant going to like it. It the 80 gr in the 6mm rem has worked wonders.
And the 87gr 257 wbm does work well
On fl deer and hogs
The deer are not that big so might be why they worked
But the hogs are big
So idk lol
