Yes, the demand for new .358 Hoosier rifles and ammo is certainly down. However, you can still use the .358 Hoosier rifles to hunt deer on public lands like you could last year. The .243 and .308 cartridge rifles are limited to private ground. And, you may want some more quality ammo to feed an existing rifle in .358 Hoosier. The cartridge is still a fine one for hunting deer and other big game animals.
