Would anyone happen to know if there is a business that keeps .358 STA dies in stock? Thanks

When I got my STA I called RCBS and they were out of the die at that particular time, they gave me Fred Huntington's phone number, I called him and got my die. Good luck and good shooting.

You could check in with C-H. They have a relatively short turn-around on dies they manufacture. Both their prices and quality are good by me.

I know this thread is old, but I am curious, did you get the dies, and if so have you done any reloading of this...if so, how do you like it? I am considering doing this caliber in a virgin valley encore barrel...thanks

tmhunter ----- The .358 STA was first built by Layne Simpson and Kenny Jarrett and was originally billed as the perfect Brown Bear chambering. I shoot a couple of STA's and they are awesome in my opinion. I have a copy of an article put out by Simpson that tells the story of what it can do, what brass to use, etc. The Nosler, Hodgden, Barnes, A-Square books have loads, my experience is you can beat those considerably yourself. I have taken my rifles to Colorado, Alaska and Africa and they are plenty of rifle until you want to go .416 and up for the dangerous game. My favorite load is a 270 grain North Fork bullet at 2950 fps, or a 225 grain North Fork at 3150 plus fps. Those bullets at those speeds are something to behold when it arrives at the target. Try one and you will see what it can really do. Good shooting.
