.350 legend info?

[Kc_Kracker]

I am clueless when it comes to all the different caliber sizes etc. Is the new 350 legend legal fir big game, bigger than 243?

It's a straight wall .223.  I would say deer sized game to a couple hundred yards.  Sounds like promising reviews from those who have used it on deer in short range hunting.

Reports are it has less recoil than a .243.

I don't know what straight wall means, is it legal in wa for big game?

Abd yes they say inside 200 yards it's supptti be the greatest and fastest but they don't recommend past 200.

The brass is straight with no shoulder / neck.  Here are a couple pics…..the second pic has straight wall and in comparison to a necked rifle cartridge.

Yes it’s legal

Yes legal in WA state.  350 Legend was designed specifically as a deer hunting cartridge for Midwest states (Ohio, Iowa, etc.) that require a straight wall cartridge with minimum 35 caliber.  Was designed to harvest deer out to 200 yards.  Low recoil, especially if you adopt it in an AR platform.   And those 0.355" caliber bullets are much more available than .357 or .358 bullets right now.....I've thought of getting a 350 Legend just because of the prevalence of bullets compared to my .358 caliber cartridges....I peruse the reolading websites and see 35 cal bullets in stock, only to realize it's the .355s....

It’s not the fastest (not even close) nor the greatest. It was purpose built for hunters that are restricted to using straight walled cartridges for deer. There’s much better options for use around here.

Bigger bullet than 243,but doesn't have the velocity that the 243 has.
I don't know if there is any truth to this.
Someone told me the Legend head spaces off where the brass meets the bullet.

It was designed to utilize a loophole to allow for rifles to be used in areas where there are rifle restrictions (shotgun only).

I don't see any reason why someone not hunting in those areas would choose it as a hunting round other than during ammo shortages it seems to be the only thing on the shelves around here.

It is also the only caliber that I have seen in the past year or so that is always in stock in Walmart.......lots of stock.

Armor plated cow?

350 Legend fires a 170gr bullet with 1879 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, 882 ft-lbs energy still at 200 yards.   Which is ballistically equivalent to a 30-30 with 170gr bullet out to 200 yards....granted 30-30 bullet is higher BC so drops less and less wind effected....but energy wise is similar.  Except 350 Legend has a wider meplat and makes a larger hole. 

Growing up, when time to butcher our cows/pigs/sheep we used a 22 to the head.  Today's cows must have evolved to have thicker skulls now....  darn you Darwin....
