I’m also interested in the concept of less meat damage due to lower velocity.
I also like to be different, call it contrary if you wish… I’m looking forward to the challenge of mastering a rifle that has the potential to knock me round a bit. For years I’ve shied away from recoil but it’s just a mental game that I want to get over.

There’s no practical reason to have one other than I want to, and I think it’s cool as hell. What other reasons do I need?

None whatsoever. My son had a 358 Win for a while. A very flexible cartridge, much like the .308. You will enjoy it.
