What would you do with a 358 Winchester?

[Rule 303]

@Rule 303
You got that arse about face mate.
The Whelen was loaded to similar velocities as the Whelen but with hand loads the Whelen runs rings around the Rigby. If the Rigby was loaded to modern pressures it would be outstanding.

Yes, the 350 Rigby did come first, just put it as I did to show it was not loaded to potential. Load the 350 Rigby to its potential and it is up there with the 358 Norma mag

358 Win is a plains game hammer in Africa I've run one custom M70 on impala, bushbuck, warthog, and zebra, all one shot DRTs from 10–300 yds. No lost game, zero drama.

Factory: Buffalo Bore 225gr TTSX 2,400 fps flatter, expands like hell down to 1,800 fps. Hornady 200gr Interlock for brush busters.

Handloads: 225gr Barnes TSX or Nosler AccuBond over 50gr IMR 4064 2,350 fps my go to, sub MOA, drops eland short of 250 yds. Skip 250s unless you're bone smashing kudu up close.
