Dang, I knew I had thought of the .350 Legend, years ago - there's the proof grin

Pity they apparently won't run in 5.56 magazines frown


Yeah I had done the same thing before this .358 herrett, still have a couple dummy rounds made from straightened 5.56 cases, they look kinda cool with an old school 200gr RN bullet seated in them.

It can feed from 5.56 mags - magazine modifications are the same as needed for this 358 - just remove the ribs. In a metal mag I mill out the rib section; in Pmags (for 5.56 cases, not the 6.8 case I'm using for the Herrett) you can file out the rib from inside. They work great once that's done. I'll post a pic later.
