What is 350 legend?

The 350 Legend is a straight-walled cartridge designed for hunting in states that restrict rifle cartridges to straight-walled options. It was developed by Winchester and introduced in 2019. Its primary selling point is offering AR-15 platform rifles a more powerful, deer-legal cartridge with manageable recoil.

Key characteristics of the 350 Legend include:

• Straight-Walled Cartridge: This is a defining feature for legal compliance in specific hunting regions.
• .357 Diameter Bullet: It utilizes a .357-inch diameter bullet, common in handgun cartridges.
• AR-15 Compatibility: Designed to function reliably in AR-15 rifles with a simple barrel and magazine swap.
• Low Recoil: Compared to other deer-hunting cartridges, the 350 Legend offers relatively low recoil, making it suitable for youth and recoil-sensitive shooters.
• Effective Range: While its range is limited compared to bottleneck cartridges, it's effective for hunting deer-sized game out to around 200 yards, maybe a little more in optimal conditions.
