Shame they didn't make it a .41... but, the .41 is already a Legend... ;)

I like how much room they give for COL!

Well, at least they didn’t call it the .401SL.
Anyone who has ever shot a .401WSL will agree. It’s by far one of the most underrated brush gun cartridges ever. Followed closely by the .351WSL.

Honestly, you lost me at Esoteric. That broke my two syllable limit.

That being said, I think I have seen enough internet data to back up / support your Progressive Rifling concerns.

(How long till we get this shut down) ???

As a brush gun it makes sense. If the target market (pun intended) is the long range fly swatters club, then it will probably flop. Maybe there’s folks out there with the money to chase the accuracy rabbit with a 10mm but I doubt it’s enough to build a sustainable brand around.
Then again, I studied engineering, not marketing or psychology so I could be wrong.

I agree. It's main target seems to be for the straight walled cartridge hunting.

I’m thinking about a .32Long necked down to use a .25ACP bullet. I’ll call it the 6.4mm MouseFart.

I’ll one-up you and neck down a 32 H&R and call it a 6.4 Rat Fart.

I feel like the straight-wall cartridge game should start to get diminishing returns. Unless they introduce grizzlies in the Midwest.

I'm not real familiar with lever actions. But I'm wondering how reliable a straight wall rimless cartridge in the action be?

There’s quite a few rimless and semi rimless cartridges used in lever actions, including .35Rem. The straight wall is not as big a problem in a manual action versus a self loader since the brass has time to spring back after firing. With a semiautomatic the case is typically still expanded when the action starts to cycle. That makes extracting difficult compared to a manual. I guess it also kinda depends on the lever action. Marlin 94/336/95/444 and Browning BLR actions are completely different. The toggle action Winchester is another animal altogether because it uses a pretty beefy claw compared to the others.

That is definitely a unique gun. And a magazine fed lever action rifle is probably be the only way the 400 Legend could safely function without the chance of bullet setback and still chamber on the case mouth.

I have a BLR is .358Win which uses the same parent case as .308Win and (I'm guessing) the .400Legend. It uses a 4-round box magazine, which is plenty for the woods.
