350 legend good or bad?

[WisBorn]

I have never owned or shot a 350 Legend. I think it does have a level of cool

My Dad owned a 351 Winchester Self Loader and it was one of the first centerfire rifles I ever shot. The 350 Legend has more energy than the 351 wsl making it a good option for deer. The 351 was borderline at best even though Dad killed a few deer with it.
I will pick up a 350 Legend myself someday just for the fun factor

I am about ready to trip the trigger on a 350 legend let me know how you like yours and if you have hunted with this ar platform. thanks a lot Deputy Bruce

I live in lower Michigan and the .350 is one of the calibers we can hunt with here. So I got a Thompson/Center Pro Hunter receiver and a barrel from Match Grade Machine and setup a rifle. I haven't had the opportunity to shoot a deer with it yet, but I suspect it will work fine.

Years ago I hunted with a .357 Max in a Dan Wesson Revolver. Took several deer with it using 180 grain hollow point bullets. Most were one shot kills. Out of a rifle I imagine the round would be even better. There is not much difference between the Max and the Legend.

@deputy bruce I'd much prefer 6.5 Grendel but it fails to serve my purposes due to hunting regulations here and I’ve got other 6.5 variants as well as 30 cal rifles for larger medium game. It’s still a fun little round none the less and has some support on the ammo side.

I live in lower Michigan where they just recently changed the deer gun laws for the shotgun zone. I can only use my Winchester model 70 Featherweight .308 and model 94 30-30 up north, but lately I have been having better luck at home on my own property with a shotgun, crossbow and muzzle loader. We can now use certain .35 cal or larger straight wall rounds in a rifle like .357 Mag, .44 Mag, 45 Colt, .460 S&W, .350 Legend, .450 Bushmaster and maybe some others with a case length between 1.16" and 1.80". I used my buddies Ruger American .450 Bushmaster last year and took a buck with it but I thought the recoil was a bit too much for my arthritic shoulder so I thought I would give the .350 Legend a try this year. I just bought the .350 Legend Winchester XPR to use this deer season.

The gun was made in Portugal at the Browning Viana factory, this is the Sporter Titanium model and it is not on the Winchester web site for some reason, I was surprised to see it at my local dealer 5 miles down the road. You can also get it with a blued barrel if you prefer. It has a recessed crown, free floating barrel and adjustable trigger pull and trigger stop, factory set at 3 1/2 pounds.

There are several variations of the .350 available but I like walnut stocked guns, most are composite plastic. The .350's and .450's are selling like crazy in my area. I got a Leupold 3x9 Freedom scope mounted and got it zeroed in. I'm quite happy with the results, I can get sub 1" groups at my 90 yard range, same as my .308.
