Hawk Cartridges were developed through long hours of testing.  358 Hawk Test Data

358 Hawk is what the 35 Whelen should have been... 
It's more versatile and delivers much more power down range than it's much older cousin.

If that does not impress you compare this data to the 35 Whelen, the closest cousin of the 358 Hawk.  For complete load data you can purchase the Hawk Reloading Manual.
