    It's unlikely that you will get near 2200 fps with cast bullets even with gas checks leading will be a major problem. 1600 to 1800 fps is more realistic Factory ammunition in those weights runs at 22 to 2300 fps
    I have a Husqvarna in 9.3x57, that's .366 in English money which the 358 is often compared with.
    I have used Robert's 285 grain gas checked bullets at 1500 fps and that's plenty for most things.
    I have loaded 250 grain woodleighs at 2200 fps and shot a scrub bull with it range being just under 100 yds, my heart was going like buggery he was an angry boy, one in the shoulder was enough but a second was ready to go.
    For goats and deer it's certainly enough gun but it's no speedster so you need to be aware of the trajectory.
