Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Straightwall cartridge choice?

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.

Anyone using the Legend on black bears?

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 have that book. 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.

No such thing.

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.

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

Thanks.

H&R 357 Magnum rechamber job. It shoots very well.

Kinda like "brush busting" cartridges ....... 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

45-70, 44mag, 357, 357 max, 350 Leg, 454 Casull, Whole bunch of older ones. There are a bunch

I’m guessing that you don’t deer hunt with a 223 either. 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!

Thank you sir!

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.

Is the 375 Winchester a legal cartridge in those states?
