Winchester .350 Legend
Posted: 27 Mar 2020 12:33
Has anybody here either been actively fooling around with firearms chambered in the recently introduced .350 Legend, or plan to ?
Guess it is a commercial adaptation of the wildcat .357 AR, itself a rimless version of the old silhouette round, .357 Maximum. It's my understanding this .350 Legend chambering is marketed for those states that now allow some straight walled rifle rounds for deer hunting.
Nonetheless, my own experience with 35 caliber rifle rounds like 35 Remington and .358 Win. is that they tend to hit with a wallop, especially with 170 grain bullets and up. Unlike things like 300 Blackout, commercial ammunition appears reasonably priced for hunting. I've seen some advertisements for "Remage" barrels in .350 Legend, as well as barrels and magazines for the AR platform.
The round has aroused my curiosity.
