Is that a good deer round or is a 6.5 creedmore a better round?I see some states don't allow a necked shell.

Imo, there is really no need for any rifle cartridge other than the following:
22 CB cap, and LR
Something in the 17/204 class
243/6mm class
300 WM
375 H&H
You can efficiently hunt any land animal on the planet with those rifles.

350 legend had a purpose that purpose is to fit in an ar15 mag and be legal in a strait wall cartridge state that limits cartrige lenght to 1.8 inches


the hole point of strait wall is to limit effective range


6.5 creedmore is a target round for hitting 1200-1400 yard targets that happens to do decently at deer size game at ranges under 300 yards

I would only look at the 350 if I lived in a state that only allowed straight walled case rifles. If you can use regular tapered case rifles, there are numerous better cartridges. I always consider ammo availability and cost when selecting a rifle.

there are many very effective deer and bear cartridges out there that have been around 50-100+ years

the new whiz-bang "super cartridges" are good at filling some niche like a short action target round to punch paper at 1200 yards


if your hunting under 250 yards deer, moose , bear , elk a 308 will take them

what is your goal for a cartridge?

Should have given more information.Toying with getting the wife another deer rifle.She is now shooting a browning bar semi auto in 30-06.Little recoil but we might need to consider a bolt action for her with little recoil.

I'm guessing that in Maine you aren't planning on 400 yard shots.
I'd look at the 243.

Thanks but will be Kansas and states around there.

.243

Not a good caliber for her.Her shots tend to be a little off.I want a heavier round for her.

My wife shoots a 30-06 with a brake. Yep, its loud, but she likes the recoil reduction.

Good idea but probably would bother her noise wise.

My wife doesn't complain about the noise, it's the person next to her, usually me, that doesn't care for it.

7mm08 is about perfect

How's the recoil compared to?

Worst thing I've heard about the 350 Legend is bullet diameter. If you are a reloader, I would avoid it. If not and it tickles your wife, buy two!

It’s none worse than a 243 in my opinion

Well if she's a little off

50 BMG. Muzzle brake and ear muffs included

Lol....330-Trapper

Did you ever read the article of a 120# ballerina chick who carried a 35-40# lb. 50BMG
And shot her Bull elk at 750 yds.

It was in Field n stream mag a few years back
