sounds like there's a lot of history in those rifles pete . yeah 358 tazz . a 308 win necked up to 35 cal. much more energy transfer apparently. not that the 308 is lacking . a 35 cal 225 game king or a 250 grain round nose would be serious medicine , but with the right projectile the medium bore can still kill well on lighter game . the 358 can fit in short action rifles and works with shorter length barrels like 308 does. lighter less kicking package than the 35 whelen build i was considering . do some research taz, it's a interesting caliber
Have both. You know you want to. What could possibly go wrong with re-chambering to the .358 AND get yourself a nice new dedicated.243. Or the CZ in .458 Win Mag. You know it makes sense.
Yeah I had considered having both bruiser, but I only have so much safe space , and as I live in suburbia and don’t get out to hunt nowhere near as much as I’d like, I gotta keep things in perspective. As far as centre fires go I’ve got a super accurate 22 hornet, 222 Winchester, 6.5x55 Winchester, a 357 marlin for fun, and the 70a Winchester I got coming that’s gunna be 358 . That’s a pretty good spread for what I do . But my local gun shop has a jm stamped marlin 444 that’s really tempting....
