One thing I've found nice about my 350 legend in an AR is that brass is relatively cheap so I don't worry too much if I can't find it after the shot. With my 458 socom I put in a fairly good effort to find brass which sometimes slowed down the rabbit hunting.
I had a bunch of more pointy NBTs that were 300g and relatively thin skinned so they expanded easy. They were originally made for muzzle loading sabots but us socom guys had them run a bunch for sps without the sabots I bought 1000 of them and later sold off what I had left here for too cheap. I could have used them in my 45/70 with 1 in the chamber and 1 in the mag. They worked well on Jack rabbits and gallon water jugs at a bit over 2000fps.
I still think I'd go 45/70 in a number 1 and only go bushy in an AR or a little bolt gun like an AR mag fed ruger American.
