I was waiting for the 400 legend but there just weren’t that many rifles or ammo out yet and I needed it for this deer season. I went with the 350 legend in a Winchester xpr and I really love it. 400 seems cool but for my needs in PA, I think I’ll do just fine with the 350 legend. Hopefully I will bag one with it this year. Great vid!
I have been waiting nine months for a Ruger Predator... I have 10boxes of smmo. Dies and three bullet molds!! I even have bases n Rings snd a scope!!! NO GUN!! Grrr
I have both, I have taken deer and hogs with both. My humble opinion is both are 200 yards or less rounds. Past 200 on game you will be disappointed. It can be done and probably is but I just don't think it's ethical. Inside 200 you will be happy.
WOAH someone reasonable that doesn't say it is good to 350 yards?? I have a 350 and it is a great cartridge for most hunters in the usa where shots are within 200
I use a .350 Legend for deer in Ohio and am interested in the .400 Legend, but the rifle and ammo selection, especially in AR rifles, is limited right now. One of the attractions of the .350 is how easy it is to fit into an AR platform because of its similarity to the .223, but that doesn’t seem to be happening with the .400.
350 and 400 Legend are not rimmed cartridges and would not work well in a traditional tube fed lever gun. Henry could technically adapt these calibers to their Long Ranger model, which uses a flush fit box magazine. Another problem that makes it unlikely for Henry to adapt a 350/400 Legend is that it would undercut their 360 Buckhammer rifles.
as in why they developed these rounds? in some states such as Iowa where I live you can't use a high powered rifle. For a long time it was a shotgun and slugs only. a few years ago they allowed these straight walled cartridges'. I'm hoping in the future they will allow high powered rifles but for the time being we are only allowed to use these.
Seems to me so much of the hype on these cartridges is just marketing. We've had 375 win. - 444 marlin - 45/70 almost a hundred years. These gun experts will tell you these cartridges are absolute. Go figure.🤨
Well for some states like mi. The 350 legend and 450 bushmaster are legal for deer where the others are not. So there is a market there, plus a lot of AR guys like to be able to have more oomph if needed.
You do have a point I forgot there's case length issues in some states. I think people get to hung up on small things, shot placement and improving your woods craft is more important.

Good to see ya again Allen

Allen, I used to live in NE Ohio. I am not a hunter, but I am curious why the state only allows straight walled cartridges for hunting?
I live in Iowa. Instead of all this 350, 450, 400 stuff, I'm just waiting until they allow 300 BLK, which I already own.
Are these bolt guns only? Henry make levers chambered in 350 or 400?

And the question is "Why?"

350/400 is just more practical for more people. Lower cost and recoil than any of the calibers you mentioned.
