.350 Legend

The .350 Legend is a rifle cartridge developed by Winchester Ammunition in 2019. It was designed as a straight-walled cartridge that would be legal for deer hunting in states that have restrictions on the use of high-powered rifle cartridges.

The cartridge is based on a modified .223 Remington case, which was lengthened and necked up to accept .357 caliber bullets. The resulting cartridge has a bullet diameter of .357 inches and a case length of 1.71 inches.

The .350 Legend is capable of firing bullets weighing between 145 and 265 grains at muzzle velocities ranging from 2,100 to 2,300 feet per second. It is a relatively mild cartridge that is suitable for hunting a wide range of game animals, including deer, black bear, and wild hogs.

One of the main advantages of the .350 Legend is its compatibility with the AR-15 platform, which is popular among hunters and shooters. The cartridge was designed to function reliably in semi-automatic rifles, and it has quickly gained popularity among hunters and shooters who appreciate its mild recoil and long-range accuracy.

In addition to hunting, the .350 Legend is also suitable for use in target shooting and recreational shooting. It is widely available and relatively affordable compared to some of the more specialized cartridges on the market.
