Hey Happy Thanksgiving! Yes I would agree, the .358 winchester and other 35 caliber rounds are devastating. To answer your question, on this particular deer, yes there was a bit of meat loss in the shoulder area. To my surprise, the 200gr Hornady Spire point was softer than I had expected. That was a small deer, and the impact velocity was in the neighborhood of 2,200fps. I was not expecting that much bullet upset. On the contrary, I shot a doe at 168 yards with a 225gr Sierra GameKing. The shot was placed directly on the should as well. With this deer, there was very little meat loss. You could, as they say, "Eat right up to the hole" Anyhow, I appreciate you stopping in. I have not put out a video in a while. Life gets busy, however I will be putting some more out shortly. All the best and again, Happy Thanksgiving. Matthew
@ Best of the holidays to you as well. The .358 would be overkill here in. Northern Mn as my shots are under 100 yards, 30 caliber fare. With the .358 caliber, distance seems to be its friend. I like the lever action though. I just sold a few older guns and picked up the new Marlin 30-30. Midlife crisis at 71😂. Take care and blessings.
Hi RJ, I trust you had a fabulous Christmas and New Year. Man 71 is young, no better time for a midlife crisis such as that. I am sure you have many good years ahead of you with that 30-30. Of everything I've hunted with, the 358 is by far my favorite. I have more powerful 35's in the safe, but the 358 is my go to. Matter of fact, Lord willing, it is traveling with me to South Africa, this coming September. Will be using it for a variety of plains game. Blessings.

.358 is certainly devastating. Is there much meat loss?

@@358Outdoors That sounds like an interesting trip. Good luck. The guns are in the safe and I’m sharpening up the ice auger.🙂🎣
