If you had these bullets to choose from,with a 358 norma, what would be your choice for 10-250 yd moose bear and caribou?

200 Gr. SP (Hornady Interlock)
200 Gr. Barnes X
225 Gr. Swift A-Frame
225 Gr. Nosler Partition
250 Gr. SP (Hornady Interlock)
250 Gr. Speer Grand Slam
250 Gr. Swift A-Frame
250 Gr. Barnes X
250 Gr. Nosler Partition

The 250 grs Swift A-Frame. I`ve used it for several years in my Norma Mag. You didn`t list the 225 grs Barnes X?

Any of the listed bullets from 225 grain up. I would prefer the heavier bullets for the Bear. I would also add to that list the North Fork bullets, they come in 225, 250, and 270 grains. The North Fork is the toughest and most accurate premium bullet I shoot with my .358 STA. I would also look at the 280 grain Swift A-Frame. The heavier bullets have better Sectional Densities, thus better penetration should be obtained. I would shoot them all and pick the one your rifle shoots best and is most consistent with. Good shooting.

I'd be tempted to see how the 200 gr. X-bullet shot, and if it didn't, any of the 250 gr. bullets would get the nod. JMO, Dutch.

For lighter game the 250 gr partion. For heavier or dangerous game the 250 A-Frame.

I'd go with any of the last three, and whichever of them shot the most accurately. At 2700-2800 fps they are plenty flat for 300 yds, and are also stout enough to exit a moose on a close up broad side shot.

If you're interested in plinking loads, I just got a 260 gr .358" mold, should be a dandy for whelens, Norma's and Rigby's.

Paul,
When might some of those 260 grainers be available to me? And how much $$? Thanks.
