[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2869909, member: 126985"] I wouldn't recommend pistol bullets on deer. But the lighter 160gr 350 Legend bullets would work. I shoot them at 2800 fps in 16" AR 10. Ran a bunch of loads. 50 gr copper 9mm HP 3840 fps, 36.7 gr H110 excellent short range 50 yds accuracy with 35 gr H110 at 3766 fps. Not for the average reloader, and only safe in my AR 10..but a start place for those who can obtain the bullets. 125 gr Speer .357 pistol bullet 52 gr RL 7 3088 fps average. 147 gr HST 9 mm pistol bullet 48.0 gr RL 7 2857 fps average. 160 gr 350 Legend 48.0 gr RL 7 2800 fps. 200 gr Hornaday SP 51.6 gr Leverevolution 2400 fps went a bit higher but velocity flattened out in the 16" barrel. 250 gr Hornaday SubX for 350 Legend subsonic loads ...46.0 gr TAC 2247 fps. Do not know how it will preform on game at supersonic speeds, but it was accurate, in the AR 10. 250 Hornady SP TAC did well, same load, but a bit more velocity was had with Leverevolution up in 2300 fps in 16 " barrel, at 49.0 grs but larger S/D, probably don't matter much on a mid range cartridge. 2000MR and CFE 223 were also tried, but these powders were too slow to reach maximum 358 Win velocities of the normally used powders, for that cartridge...so, no help with those powders. Anyway my recent loading endevors with the 358 Win in 16" AR. Use for informational purposes, all reloading is dangerous...work up carefully as components and firearms vary in dimensions and uniformity of components. Note for AR user's: An adjustable gas block is necessary for light and heavy bullets, for tbe AR, the fast 50 gr bullets would not cycle the AR 10, in the 125 grain position, not really a surprise, but the 125 gr pistol at 3100 fps would, cycle there.
