.356 winchester

[nor-cal yote]

I picked this up a few weeks ago, dont know much about this caliber .356 winchester in the big bore 94 class.
this is the round next to a 223 round

any of you guys ever heard of the .356?

nor-cal,


That's a nice rifle.  I had one in .375 Winchester I think.  Big Bore 94 carbine.  Mine had a straight wall case.  I killed a couple of whitetails with it.  I wish I still had it.  It had some great wood on it and a lyman receiver sight.  Shot real good but I wanted something different and sold it???  They don't make them anymore.

Never heard of it, but that looks like the one you'll want when they start the government take over

Ya sure got me on that one.     I thought you made a typo & meant  358Win.
Winchester came up w/ this in 1980 & produced guns & ammo in 1983. At which time Marlin chambered their 336ER in that chambering also. Winchester made this & the 307Win for their new model 94XTR, a beefed up 94 w/ angle-eject.
Both the 307 & 356 are rimmed cartridges.  The 356 has enough umph to handle any animal in the continental US.
Winchester is still producing ammo, but are the only ones that I know of.

CAUTION:  The 358Win. will chamber in the 356Win chamber & can be fired! Not a good idea!

Looks like a fun gun to me!

Sounds like you got the same book as me. 


Cartidges of The World          Very interesting book if you have any interest in guns.

Thanks for the info I don't own a 358 so I'm good for now, was going to use it for a pig gun but I just got word the forest service is reviewing my application for a job back in Montana, I hope I get it, I'm sick of California, and it would be great to be back in Montana with my family.
