.350 legend hd?

Would I ? No, and especially not with FMJ ammo. I'd be worried about over penetration and how many walls that FMJ will go through before stopping. Unless you are in the middle of nowhere you'd have a good chance of putting one through the neighbors wall.

I personally don’t see a driver to select a 350 for the purpose of HD, but I can appreciate it is advantageous over many cartridges commonly used for home defense. For most Americans, I could easily be convinced the .350L is a better option than 5.56/223.

Personally I kinda like 4 buck in 20in pump gun.....but that's just me.

Yes. It would be a great HD round. You are looking at 100 yds or less. Better than any 5.56 at those ranges. Yes, I own a 350 Legend in a bolt gun.

A 350 legend loaded with a 158 xtp or similar would be a devastating home defense load, but so is a 223 loaded with a fast expanding bullet.

Ive got mine available to me as an option for HD. Its.loaded with 147xtps at 2350. Far beyond what the bullets are designed for, but from what ive shot with them they should be effective.

I have to agree with Jeff:

My choice is a .45 ACP with all things considered. Now if your house has a 1 mile radius around it to the nearest neighbor they maybe I would consider a rifle cartridge but I have maybe 50 feet. On the bright side my neighbors garages are adjacent to my property lines. Everyone is different as to which round is suitable for home defense. I figure decide on the round and then worry about the gun.

Not my cuppa, but yeah, it'll do the job. Unlike 300BO I don't cringe every time I think about its existence.
