Damn it. I was all set to go with a .358 STA and then I read this post on WSM wildcats, which got me to thinking I better check those out first. Who has done a .35 caliber on the WSM case. Photos? Loads? Speeds? Pressure? | ||

I think they are the same but I am open to being wrong. I say go for the 358 Yukon by www.z-hat.com A standard length shortened RUM case that will duplicate the 358 STA 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

A mate runs a 35Sambar built on a Ruger WSM action. Literally 50-80fps behind the 358Norma with all bullet weights. A very handy cartridge. Cheers... Con | |||

Nice to see you are able to get bigger bullets into the casemouth without splitting the brass. I'm going the other way: 300RUM necked down to .30 on a 30-degree shoulder to a .30-06 length in a 300WSM chamber which will be rechambered to fit. The 300WSM shows as having a .555 lower datum diameter while the 300RUM shows as having a .550 diameter. I have measured some of my own 300WSMs that have been fired and reloaded several times. I measure .552 and .553 at .200 above the casehead. I think I can use my original chamber and may not need to cut the breech end of the barrel... | |||

The 338 and 358 WSM in the picture are actually made from 325 WSM brass and they are made using a plastic hammer and a suitable bullet only .The 9.3 mm , 375 and 416 are made from 300 WSM brass necked up with a neck expander I have never split a neck reforming a WSM or WSSM case .I also neck up the 375 RUM to 416" and 458" without any problem | |||
