358 STA BULLETS?
« on: April 13, 2007, 04:14:09 AM »
I have a Remington M700 with a 26 inch Shilen barrel chambered in 358STA 1:14 twist. The rifle is going to be a big bear gun. My question is what bullets do you think I should shoot? I was thinking 280gr A-Frame or 270gr North Fork bullets. Please help..... Thanks  RL

my remington/schneider sta loves the now discontinued barnes 250x bullet.  killed several nice black bear 300 plus with it.  I also have some trophy bonded 225 gr that shoot well also.  I've tried the nosler partition 250's and speer grand slam 250's , but can't get the accuracy I want ( but at their cost load development is expensive).  the hornady 250's shoot well and are inexpensive compared to the premiums and would probably work for everything here in north america.  I currently have my sta sighted in for the barnes 225tsx-fb bullet and loaded to match the mill-dit reticle on my scope, that way there is no guess on hold out to 500 yards.    hope this helps--jim

Thanks gruvco, Right now I am to shooting 225gr TSX . I shoot them over RL-19 and Fed 215 primes. If you need a box of the old 250gr X bullet I have one I can sell u.
