[QUOTE="Randy Dunn, post: 58480, member: 3473"] No, I have not. I have come to the conclusion that if I am going to get a 358 and run 250-300gr bullets in it, taking into acount what you had to say about sectional density, and just shoot moose and bear then the STA would be a real killer and it would shoot flat at that.
