358 win in Lever savage 99. I have it maxing out at almost 3000 fpe. And with a soft butt pad its fun to shoot. 225 gr at 2450 fps. or pistol bullets over trail boss for youngsters shooting goats.
I know some of the guys using strong bolt action heat them up ( another 100-150 fps) somewhat more but I would be suggesting that going to a 35 Whelen would be safer.
It's completely unneeded for NZ but I'm having fun with it.
