358 WSM loads???

I made some calls today and believe it or not, I now have Reloader 17 and H4895 to add to my list of powders to try. I'm also working on some IMR 4895, but I won't know until tomorrow.

What do you all think about 200 grain Hornady Interlocks. I've got plenty of them and they work great on deer or at least the 30 cals do. Would you try them?
Even if they aren't suitable for deer close up at full speed, the 200 Hornady Spire Points #3510 will at least give you a starting point with your load development without breaking the bank. I've pushed them beyond 3200fps with reasonable accuracy from my Norma. They do work well on deer at 358 Win. speeds but I have no other experience with them on game.
 
I have a large variety of 35 cal bullets I don't use anymore. Sold my 35 Whelan ackley due to health reasons. Not as powerful as yous but killed like lighting up to elk and bear.
 
I've mostly used 225 accubonds in mine. Varget, RL15, IMR4895 and H4895. IMR got the most speed by far. H4895 was the most accurate for me.
What bullet jump, or BTO do you have when using the .358 225 AccuBonds?
I have a bunch of them, and I can’t get them to shoot in my 358 WSM, or 358/300 PRC.
Thanks
 
I'm 0.025 off the lands in my 35 Sambar, aka 358 WSM, with 225gr NAB. Running 66.2 gr CFE223, Fed210 and Norma 300 WSM case yields 2875 fps in 23" barrel. This load is easily sub MOA to 300 yd accuracy and serious medicine for Iowa whitetails.
