Thread: What would you do…

Plenty of good ideas… 358w has me interested Micky. Do you just neck up 308 brass for that one?

My cunning idea was to chuck a 7 or 8 twist 20inch 243 barrel on, slightly heavier than a tikka contour. I’ve got a spare hardy stealth suppressor and krg chassis sitting unused so I reckon all of them put together would make a reasonably heavy but not annoying truck gun for farm hunting..

Grandpamac - had thought of making a lightweight walkabout gun but I’ve got a 7x57 that fits that gap nicely, light recoiling and will flatten anything inside 200m

Greetings,
I loaded for a .358 Win for a bit. .308 cases easily form to .358. The Hornady dies with their elliptical expander button worked well

sorry I missed that..yeah I believe so... can have full noise hunting loads or use pistol projectiles for pithing around..... its not a cartridge we see used a lot as the .308 can do much of muchness.....but with heavyweights it can excell according to all reports.
