been reading about them . though about one I saw nice price on an upper the other day.
if your looking at a bolt gun, 308 , 30-06, 358 win , 35 Wheelen all give more range and greater power.
but if your in the need of a niche cartridge to give greater energy for relatively short range game hunting Sub 200 yards that fits an AR15 platform or to use in a state with a strait wall cartridge law for deer hunting with an overall length restriction , it is a jackpot.
I need another rifle also but have been standardizing cases , I felt like I was loading too many different things

I know a bunch of people have asked about if it will be made into a lever gun, problem is very few lever actions can take 55Kpsi.
any lever gun that it would be built in would have to probably have a rotary locking bolt it wouldn't be that hard but it wouldn't be very traditional.

Why not jump on the 6.5 Transgender bandwagon?
I have nothing clever to put here.

Might be legal in the "straight wall" states... I know the .450 Bushmaster just became legal in DE. .350 Legend is also allowed in DE. It fits in the case length guidelines. I've heard a lot of smaller shooters like the cartridge due to the reduced felt recoil.

I run a 357 maximum in rifle configuration to meet straight wall requirements. The legend is pretty much similar. 350 legend because it is a 55Kpsi round makes gains over the 357 maximum a 40Kpsi case sort of a 357max +P+ rimless so that it feeds better from box mags. cartridge development has taken 3 maybe 4 paths in the last decade or two 1 long range performance , hotter faster , flatter. 2 long range performance , hotter faster flatter , but still fits in a standard short action. 3 what can we cram in a AR mag hotter faster flatter 4. what can we fit in an AR mag and make fit strait wall states requirements.

been reading about them . though about one I saw nice price on an upper the other day.
if your looking at a bolt gun, 308 , 30-06, 358 win , 35 Wheelen all give more range and greater power.
but if your in the need of a niche cartridge to give greater energy for relatively short range game hunting Sub 200 yards that fits an AR15 platform or to use in a state with a strait wall cartridge law for deer hunting with an overall length restriction , it is a jackpot.
I need another rifle also but have been standardizing cases , I felt like I was loading too many different things
I'm not a big fan of the AR, I admit I have considered it lately 350 legend or .224 valkyrie. I've never shot the .308 or 30-06 much, they get left at home most of the time. I stumbled on the 350 legend last week while gun shopping for my wife. Savage has the new style axis 2 in 350. I almost ordered it, but opted for .243 since I have ammo for it. I didn't realize how much I liked the new axis till last night when I was putting a scoop on it. I ordered it in the compact model (short stock and barrel). I put a lighted reticle 2-7×32 scope on it.. it has me thinking that I need that same set up in 350.

Mossberg has just released the 350 legend in their Patriot synthetic line and possibly the synthetic compact , hoping it makes the predator line next year. the Patriot predator has a threaded muzzle and rail for mounting optic my next one will be in 308 . but could see a 16 inch barrel version in 350 as something a lot of people would like. I have another 308 with threaded muzzle and run a muzzle brake on it , the brake really reduces the recoil. I prefer the Mossberg to the axis , I like other Savage models but the Axis didn't do anything for me.

I don;t think an animal would know the difference inside 100 yards between the 2 , but the shooter should feel the difference between launching 300 grains at 1800 fps vs 170gr at 2200 fps , actual terminal energy isn't that different inside 150 yards the trajectory isn't that much of a difference either , but the recoil is. the 350 also uses your original BCG if you run it in an AR so it is like 300 blackout , just a barrel change not barrel , Bolt and mag.

So I have an AR15 in 5.56, exactly what do I need to buy to change it to .350 Legend? Barrel and Magazine, but what else I have a Linear Muzzle Brake on it now, will it need changed as well?
