350 Legend Round

[FLT]

Yes,16 inch . I don’t know from personal experience, but I have a friend that used the Winchester factory loads to take 3 deer this year . He says it’s as good as his 300blk and perhaps a little better. I know that you can’t use the Winchester brass with .357 bullets in my ruger ranch rifle , the neck area of the chamber is to tight to chamber a round when using .357 bullets. The starline cases have thinner necks and work fine. I bought the rifle to shoot suppressed 180 grain Hornady XTP bullets , and that’s all I’ve shot in it to date.I’ve taken 2 coyotes at around 75 yards and several hogs at close range. It’s had enough power to drop them very close to where they were shot. If I wasn’t so heavily vested in 300blk Supplies I’d likely get deeper into the 350 legend .

Issued weapons all over Europe got around this by having loose chambers. Somebody should wallow out a chamber to be able to use 357 projectiles with the thickest brass possible and then give us an accuracy report. If I owned one of these rifles I'd do it myself. Anybody want to sell me one?

Got a variety of ammo to try. Picked up several boxes for a pretty decent price.

Now that's a real thumper... 357 in a 308 case. Wow.

 

[capt.joe]

If you want thumper in an ar 10 platform look up 45 raptor

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Got one, BCA stainless 16 inch w/ zip stick, 1.5x 4x vortex scope, a2 rifle buffer, stock shoots great. 180gr win power point. 0 at 100. Adjusted up 2 tics after this group. On the money. Gonna blast a deer with it. A little more recoil than. 223. 0 failures of any kind. Go BCA!

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Oh also per BCA theirs is .355 bore. I emailed them. Gotta get a brass catcher!!!

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Also is there an old school caliber, round this is close to??

I don’t see why you couldn’t, it would not take much.

357 maximum

And 375 raptor. My next build

.35 Rem is plenty good enough for me. Not looking to shoot this caliber/round in an AR. As noted above--.375 Raptor my next "AR" workup.

 

[WRM]

The Legend was just designed to meet some straightwall restrictions somewhere in Midwest/Northeast for hunting. And they of course decided to make something that would fit AR platform. All my understanding.

I've got .35 Rem in a lever and a pump. I have no need for Legend, but can see attraction if you want to shoot a large caliber in an AR. Now, the Raptor, on the other hand. Yeah...... if I like the AR, I'll build a lightweight bolt gun too.
