Anybody got any thoughts about the new 350 Legend round Winchester just released?
From what I have seen I think they missed their timing at least for IN. The cartridge is aimed at better performance in a production round to be used in PCR applications... Since IN went to HPR on private ground I think the demand here has been significantly reduced. From what I have seen data wise they essentially put the 358 Hoosier wildcat round into production. As I understand they use a straight wall 223 cartridge (rimless) and then a 357 bullet. They claim it has better down range (200 yard) energy than a 30-30 with less recoil than a 30-30. This would have been something I would have been interested in back in the PCR only days...but since I don't hunt public ground...it's not of much use to me. My youngest (14) shoots my 30-30 lever gun just fine. Data below is just sales info that I found on the internet....
