Winchester came out with a new rifle round called the 350 Legend. All the ads look great but no real numbers have been released. This round seems perfect for the eastern woods deer hunter, and there are plenty of places that allow only straight wall rifle rounds.
Frankly, the 450 bushmaster and the 45-70 are needlessly powerful; for woods deer. Frankly something in the energy range of a 30-30 is all you ever really need. This is suppose to be light kicking and I think it would be well accepted.
But, if it stays only in the Winchester rifle I think it won't go far. If AR uppers are made and if Ruger comes out with the American in that round it will be greatly accepted. [/b]
Thoughts?
This^^^. If Ruger brings it out in the Ruger American Ranch, it will be a hit. I hate the name, but I like the idea.
Looks like it would make a fantastic revolver cartridge, just need to put a rim on it. You could chamber it in a Ruger Blackhawk with maybe a stretched frame and cylinder, or I bet it would go really great in a T/C Contender....

People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
the ones that have finally pulled their heads out of their azzes about shotgun slug laws. Don't expect great things from the other slug states anytime soon
So Winchester invested time , money & effort into a major flop.
Nothing new.
