« on: October 07, 2012, 03:33:49 PM »
 does anyone know what range the #2800 sierra .358 200gr. RN bullet is designed for. dont want to load it too fast or too slow. This bullet is listed for all rifles in 358 diameter, but some go alot faster than others.

I'm glad I asked. I think if you keep it between 1900fps and 2700fps it will be fine. I tried some of the PR Bullet's 357 duplex sabots years ago. I didn't have very good accuracy but others have.
