You can get 2300-2400 fps with a 170 gr softpoint with the 350 Legend.
The 357 MAX operates at a max pressure of 40,000, the .350 Legend operates at max pressures of 55,000 psi.
It’s no contest.
Hey, its fun to play with ballistics tables. Couple hundred feet per second with a 10 grain heavier bullet maybe. Loaded right the Max can be quite the tack driver too.
Nothing new under the sun especially in 35 caliber. Even a 35 Rem. could get those ballistics. A game animal wouldn’t know the difference.
The biggest thing the legend has going for it is available bullets (which can now be used in the Max, 35 Rem, etc.), the industry latching on to it (for now) and a rimless case for semi-autos (read AR15s) in the “tactical everything” environment. Nothing wrong with that. Its fun and a new avenue for the hobby.
Just like the current 300 Whisper er, Blackout craze and pretending its a 308 Winchester.
