Paul HRe: .358 cal. for Black Bear?
I agree with the others that at 358 win velocities, that you shouldn't go heavier then 225 gr if you're going to use one of the stouter bullets, ie a-frame or X bullet, and even then, I think they come into their own when launched 2700 fps or faster. If you want to use a 250 gr, I'd use a conventional cup core, ie hornady or speer.
