350 Legend: I’m impressed! #7727635 11/26/22 07:51 PM 11/26/22 07:51 PM

As I couldn’t buy the slugs that pattern decent in my HR anymore; I went and bought a 350 Legend. Could have got a 450 Bushmaster but ballistically both are very similar. The 350 has much less recoil so better for my girls and ammo is about 1/2 the price. Shot a deer through both shoulders at about 150 yards and the bullet was just under the hide. Appears to be perfect expansion and retention. I’m impressed to say the least and probably will leave the slugs on the shelve.

Low recoil hits like a sledge hammer on the other end. I'm impressed with it. Ammo is readily available too. Last edited by tenman; 11/26/22 08:45 PM. General Organizer for Missouri FTA Chapter 20

My 44 magnum carbine leaves the expanded bullet just under the hide like that and puts the deer in a pile every time whether its high or low in the chest and broadside. My 30-06 doesn't do that every time.
