I just ran across a 50 caliber ammo can that is plumb full of .358 bullets that the boys and I molded some 25 years ago. These bullets are pure linotype that we aquired from an old print shop that had long been closed. They are 160 grain flat nosed with gas checks. Most of us shot them out of our 357 magnums however I remember one of the guys shooting them out of his 358 winchester and killing a bunch of white tails in Missouri with them. The old boy is dead now so I don't have a clue how fast he was driving them. I do remember that they were harder than heck. They would shoot through stuff that the hot factory ammo wouldn't.

I recon that hese bullets would work fine in the Whelan for whitetail and black bears. I think I've made up my mind! However I would still like to hear Murphy's opinion on the subject!
