358 win with detatch mag options

Post by mickb » 10 Mar 2022, 7:52 pm

Fellas, help me out if you can. I have a hankering for a 358 winchester being I have a spare 358 barrel. For a donor was thinking of one of the dirt cheap howa 308's Cleavers sells for only $500-600. Im not after fancy and I could be into the gun very cheaply, especially selling the factory barrel off after.

Main question is navigating the various detach mag bottom metal options. Anyone know if any of the '308 sized 10shot magazine kits' the howas are often listed with would have any problem handling the necked up 358 win? Im trying to visualise the mechanics of it.... and cant see any reasons it wouldnt...but.

As to why do I need a 10 shots, well for reloading half as often as a 5 shot mag, its just math :D

I honestly can't see it being an issue but I can't say it definitely won't be. Best way to find out is to physically try it if you can.
