gents
Have any of you ever hada 358 Norma Mag? And what loads did you use?
I got hold of one, and the ballistics looks very promising....

Hey Grey..Hows it going down in Africa?Good I hope and good to see you buddy.I have never seen a rifle chambered for the 358 NM Grey.I have read of the round and what it can do.I would think it would be awesome in your particular type of hunting.It can come somewhat close to the big 375H&H..Thats a whole lotta power.I figure maybe we will get somebody that has hunted big bears in here that may have used one.Sorry Grey,its just a really rare cartidge in my neck of the woods..

Hi TG
All well in SA. Good to hear from you.

Cant wait to get starting on the project!

Hey Grey...not much up this way.Waiting on Dove season to open followed by Archery season and the chance to take whitetailed deer.This month is a killer,hot and its a long wait to hunt..
I think you`ll like that big Norma.It should be plenty tough on your type of game.I can`t wait to see some pics of your success with it..Good luck to ya with it bud..
