358 Winchester

BattleRifleG3 · 01-27-2003, 01:16 PM

Anyone load for this round? I've been wondering how its powder and pressure compare to 308 Winchester. It obviously isn't the most common, but I've been interested in it for a while and might pick up a set of dies at a good price next gun show.

Anyone try 9mm and 357 bullets in it? How big to the bullets get?

I don't load for this but my books say the pressure and powder are very similar. The big difference is in bullet weight. The smallest bullet listed for the 358 is 180 gr. A 9mm bullets diameter is .356 and a 357 is .358 as is the .35 Whelen, .35 remington, etc. The .358 has a listing for 275 grain bullets.
