Looking back, it kind of surprising but I think I have built more 358 Normas than I have 338's! I like the 358 Norma but I would always recommend the 338 just because brass and bullets are more readily available.
Someone once told me, the elk was designed for the 338; or maybe it was the other way around! Whatever, it's a great cartridge andnever a disappointment.
I have built some 358 Normas with a longer neck to accomodate untrimmed 300 Win Mag brass (after full length sizing, of course). The owners liked the convenience along with the ability to use Winchester brass (cheap and tougher than Norma). Leeper
