I want to build a bolt action rifle to shoot 358 size castboolits. I current have a 358 win in a sav 99 but want a bolt action platform. The 358 win is a great hunting cartridge but has more powder capacity than needed for cast boolits velocities.
My current thoughts are a 358/7mmBR case. This would roughly dupicate the 35 rem capability plus have a .473 head size so a standard short action boltface could be used. It would give the needed velocities with reduced powder comsumptation.
Am I crazy for thinking about this? What are others thoughts on this project?
Thanks in advance,
Centex Bill
