I’ve never seen a 350 Legend. But it is a straight wall case, with limited cartridge length maxed at 2.26” in a normal AR-15 magazine length. But I think I read somewhere that there are lever actions and bolt action rifles available in that caliber.

When I did a little searching about the caliber, I was surprised to read that several states had outlawed my old 30-30 because it is necked down. What are these idiots thinking?

It has been said that more deer have been killed with a 30-30 rifle than any other rifle.

Sigh. Oh, to live in a more sane time.

Necked down 30 caliber cartridges have been king since before I was born. You can still never go wrong with a 30-06.

My father killed his last whitetail buck at 400 yards with his Remington 700 30-O6 rifle. Don’t remember the year he did that, he died 2-1/2 years ago at 94.

He was an armorer during WWII.

Yeah, I think the rationale behind the .350 Legend is to keep shooting ranges relatively short. 400 yards...and a .30-06 may go a lot further...is a long ways in populated Eastern States...not so much in the wide-open West. If it was anyone’s intent to steer hunters away from the AR platform, it blew up in their faces.
