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..:sad:
