If the 45-70 kicks too much that is super easy to remedy. Stop running Leverevolution or whatever you're running and switch to Trapdoor loads. Remington has a 300 and a 405 grain and they're both pussycats but they kill game just fine. I myself have switched to blackpowder loads in my single shot. I still run Leverevolution in my Guide Gun The problem with that is they have over a foot of drop at 200 yards. The idea is to get as close to bottle necked cartridge goodness as possible. Yes. They do make 150 yards a long shot

My .350L has about 5” of drop at 200yds when zeroed at 150yds. Bit over 2” high at 100. Not horrible to work with.
Now with even more aplomb

Anyone using the Legend on black bears?

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Rem Arms has nothing to do with Remington ammo, totally separate companies since the split up. You’ll see several other brands chambering the 360 next year. That's right, but you'd think there might be some coordination between the two companies for mutual gains.

My suggestion would be to get Paul Matthews little book "40 Years With The 45-70" and learn what this deer hunter did years ago. He also goes into an interesting dive of the Lyman Gould bullet and how it worked on deer for him. 300gr can be loaded pretty mild yet still hits hard even at trapdoor levels.
There's some interesting optics Burris has now with illuminated red dot and an MOA and different reticle subtensions flavors. I'm going to try one myself on my own Marlin

The .45-70 gives you allot of options The .350 legend will kill deer just fine.
My savage hog hunter has been used by my wife and two youth hunters to take nine deer now. Including two pretty hefty bucks, two smaller bucks and several nice doe.
Shots ranging from 15-120 yards.
All dead.
I will continue to use my .45-70 though. But nothing wrong with the .350

I really enjoy the correspondence between him and Elmer Keith in the last chapter. It's so cool to read Elmer's answers and opinions

Since REM Arms doesn’t make a lever gun or a single shot I’m not sure what they could do to promote the cartridge.

Okie John Kinda......... I brought one put a couple times this year but didn't connect. Several of my friends have used it on black bear with no issue. George

2024 will be the year of the 400 Legend. SHOT show will be loaded with models in the cartridge. Winchester has 22 model choices in the XPR line alone in 350. I expect they will do similar in 400

No such thing. when you shoot an animal with a real cartridge, you'll see "knock down power", with these pansy cartridges y'all will never see an animal knocked right offa the hooves you shoot a deer, it runs ... there's tracking, dogs are brought out.. gets dark & y'all go home because night is scary, end of next day you find your bloated deer, take pics with a huge smile then cut the head off "your trophy" the carcass gets left behind, unfit to eat do it again next year.... stupid

Lol. I used to hunt with a 7 Mag but it’s too much for my type of short range hunting. But it did knock them right off their hoofs!

Been using the 50 2 1/2” Sharps. Not cause I have to though. No kill reports yet but if 700 grains at 1400 won’t work on a scrawny deer, I’ll try golf Nice, beretzs! To quote Harry Callahan, "He shows a certain sense of style." You can tame recoil by going to a lesser cartridge - sure. Or, you can just add a little mass. Can't wait for the kill report! Thank you sir!

That's right, but you'd think there might be some coordination between the two companies for mutual gains. Nothing RemArms makes AFIK is suitable for the .360. Doubt very much it’d be worth their while to cobble something up. Not crazy about the Henry levers, but like their SSs pretty well. CVA might come up with a Scout, and Ruger could do a 336, but that will be a slow process if their pace on the other Marlins remains typical.
What fresh Hell is this?
