I am assuming you mean a .358 Norma Magnum, when you say .358NM. I don't shoot it but I do shoot two .358 STA's. Both are customs, one a Winchester from their custom shop, the other a "Lilja" barrel with a Winchester action. Both shoot with pin point accuracy and with todays excellent selection of bullets in .358 caliber, are death on the larger animals. Good shooting.
My 358 Norma is built on a P-14 action with 24 in barrel.A near max charge of IMR 4350 and a 250 gr bullet makes a dam fine moose ,elk or bear rifle.I don't shoot it much anymore because my youngest son has laid claim to it.
I just picked up a sweet 358 NM. It was built on an FN action, full Mannlicher stock, 20" barrel and peep sight. Haven't hunted with it yet just put some holes in paper. I'll give it a chance on hogs after the first of the year.

Whitworth 98 action 24" tube satin nickle finish , syntyhitic stock , built before ss actions were available , It's my favorite big game rifle , elk , bear and boar. It will push 225 to 3050 fps and 250's to 2900 fps though I usualy just load to 2800 .
