jeffeossoone of my favorite rounds, and the one i used for my "first" rifle build, from an action, some time before the last ice age
and the takedown.. WOW, that's cool
i have had the best luck with win748 powder in this case .. but i would use h335 or tac if i was doing it today ... i use h335 in "Everything" from 223 and 7.62x25 THROUGH 550 magnum
i have had the best accuracy with sierra gameking 225gr
man, that's neat rig, and excellent bullet choice ....
BLR triggers? what an understatement -- i've have finer controls with a tractor

Brian CanadaVery nice rig. I like the 358 win. I rebarrelled an old Brno into 358. It has the pop up receiver peep sight.
I am going to give the CEB Maximus bullet. 160 or 180 a whirl in it when I get a chance.
The 225 gr TSX will be a good one.
Your off hand shooting is A-1.

Same here as Jeffeosso with accuracy. Sierra 225s will hold right at 1moa in a rebuilt Kimber Montana. Not bad for 225grs at 2500fps, 2.5x scope and 6lbs for everything ready to roll.
Nosler 225 Partition hang pretty close to the Sierras, 225TSXs are running 1.5-2.0moa but Nosler 225Accubonds are 2-3moa.
The ABs are so pointy, the ogive is nowhere near the lands. In my rifle, there's a direct correlation between "pointyness" and accuracy, the fatter the better.
A .358 is a sweet little powerhouse!

Fury01Pretty much ready to go do anything it looks like to be. Thanks for sharing.

AtkinsonJudging from your pictures I surprised the 310 gr. bullets fit in the clip and chamber?? Nice gun and decent ballistics.
