Gander Mountain in Mobile, Alabama had a pair in 357. The stocks were not fit very well and both had canted sights. At least it looks like they are starting to show up again though.
Thank you for that info. I think I may pass on this one. It does look like an excellent design, and I love the 30 cal version. Kind of makes me wish I had picked up that 35 Whelen in a Ruger No 1
I am very curious how well this will fit in a typical 358 chamber and how much of the base will be below the neck shoulder junction. I have a Ruger Hawkeye in 358 that I'm thinking of trying this in.

I am new to nose pour moulds, but what I ended up doing was my normal pot temp and hot plate pre heat.
The first few casts, I would pour a large puddle of lead on the bottom plate, and a large...

I have had one of these dies for about 2 years. I bought it to improve the lethality of the 22 when hunting. I have not noticed any large improvements in accuracy. It seems that what a gun shoots...

Just tried out Pat Marlins Checkmakers in the Summit. It works well, but you can't run the auto eject plunger that fits in the forming die. I just pulled the forming die from the shell holder,...

Yeah, the coax die change kind of spoiled me. I mainly got the summit to use as a range press for working up loads away form my normal loading equipment. I definitely like the way it can be mounted...

I got the RWB from midway #0014. Waited to post because there were some issues with it that RCBS resolved quickly (cracked upper casting). Played with it a bit before I sent it back to be repaired...

I hate to see this powder go. I use it for many rifles. It has never been the best for velocity, but for one powder to load for many cartridges, it is in my top 3. I have quite a bit of it left,...

I believe your best bet for making 250 savage would be using 22-250 or 243. I had been looking for about 2 years for brass of the correct headstamp for my old 250.

Mine feeds the RCBS 35-200 and the NOE copy very well through the magazine seated out to touch the lands. Just haven't worked up any loads yet, I have mostly focused on the Saeco 352 so far.

Hey guys, I have found a nice condition JM stamped 444 in excellent condition. It's a very late production model with the 1-20" Ballard barrel. Wood fit isn't great, but the condition of the gun is...

Any one had any luck with AA XMR 4064 in the 358? Seems to be just slightly slower than 4895. I have been trying to hold out for more 4895, but no telling when it will show back up.

A quick update:
Worked with 3031 and the saeco 352. Ran 32.0 to 38.0 gr. In .5 grain increments. 33.5 shot best. Loaded 50 more with that charge. Shot 5 round groups with 30 of them. The...
