Unless you have serious and special plans. The 9.3x62 kicks pretty good and uses a sedate 286 gr. bullet. The 235's are hotter and kick too! The .358 takes no back seat with all but the heaviest .35 bullets. There is lots more surface area on the bullet base to spread out the peak psi, so you can push it harder than a .308. (pounds per inch, there are more .358 inches)

There are guys out there looking for such a rifle. Medium action rifles are great too if the chamber throating is a little longer to allow the extra seating length. Or just throat it longer. Not all .358's were length limiting short action. Find a Pre-64 M70 so chambered, literal gold!

It also has most of the power and potential of the .350 Rem. Mag. without the headaches. A great handgun round if you can handle the recoil.
