A couple of cartridges I?ll add. (Love the 358!)

35-06 JDJ 15inch barrel. I have taken deer with the 180 Hornady SSSP (discontinued) at 2700fs and the 220 Speer FP at 2575fs. Both bullets do extremely well accuracy and terminal performance.

358 Norma Magnum. Now guys don't beat me up as mine is a SSK 26 inch carbine barrel. I set it up with Barnes 200 TTSX at 2990fs. I have only taken one deer, a buck in the fall of 2017. Terminal performance of the 200 TTSX was outstanding.

I would suspect the 358 NM in a 15 inch Encore would be on pair with the 35-06 JDJ.
