My MT husband not my late husband owned (Sold now.) 2 of your firearm calibers for sure and I saw them before he sold them.358 Win Mod 88, gone now. I still cry.
284 Win, Mauser action, really not too rare
41 mag, it's the long barreled thing at the top of my avatar
303 was my first rifle I bought and owned
One was in a .358 caliber rifle. I remember that number. I think that was the rifle that Hank Williams Jr. owned and my husband bought it at the old Brady's store that is now closed. (HW had it on consignment many years ago and my husband bought it. He still owns property here in MT too. I think but I am not positive.) My husband reloaded for it too.
The 41 magnum was a really beautiful, CLASSIC, older Smith and Wesson d/a revolver. My husband reloaded for that too.
I do not know if he had your other 2 caliber firearms off hand and he is sleeping now.
There was another MARLIN (CT) rifle that he had for some time in a 336C (Walnut/blue.) and it was in a 35Remington caliber. When he sold it - 2 men wanted it and they were friends with one another. The one man told the first man, buyer, that IF he ever wanted to sell it that he should sell it to him. The buyer ended up buying the RCBS DIE so that he could reload for that rifle too. My husband sold DIES that he no longer loaded for when he downsized and consolidated a BUNCH of his firearms. My husband has seen that man, the buyer, on and off at the range and he still loves that rifle. He was very HAPPY with that purchase.
My MT husband has had a BOAT LOAD of cartridges and shotgun shells (LOL) that he used to reload for from a to z. Handguns, rifles and shotguns since the early 70's.
Take care.

PS: I do NOT reload but I did BRIEFLY think about getting into it when my late husband was alive. Right before his cancer discovery.
