I was just thinking last night about a 357 max AR. If I was going to build an AR that’s what I would want for sure. Then today I read about the 350 legend for the first time. I’m not sold on it yet, my roots are with the max and Starline makes 223 basic brass

i got this from another website. he is a excellent gunsmith.

My sincerest apologies for the deletion of all the posts that were already here…
Reason being is that I just spent a couple of hours on the phone with guys from Winchester, and with all of the new things that I have learned today, misinformation was given, and some to the point that is would open up liabilities that I would not want to be responsible for…
So, with information that is now fact, and straight from the company who designed and developed the new 350 Legend cartridge, let’s try this again…
Key Features of the 350 Legend Cartridge, as listed by Winchester –
More ENERGY than 30-30 Win, 300 Blackout and 223 Remington…
World’s fastest straight-walled cartridge…
Approximately 20% LESS RECOIL than the 243 Winchester…
20% more PENETRATION…
LESS RECOIL than the 450 Bushmaster…
Effective deer hunting ranges up to 250 yards, plus it delivers more energy than the 5.56mm, 300 Blackout or 30-30 Winchester…
This is a new case design and is NOT made from straight walled 223 Remington brass…
Compliant in states that allow straight wall cartridges for deer hunting…
2019 – 350 Legend Ammunition Offerings From Winchester:
350 Deer Season XP® 150 grain Extreme Point / 2,325 fps…
350 Super X® 180 grain Power-Point / 2,100 fps…
350 Hog Special 180 grain Power-Point / 2,100 fps…
350 USA White Box 145 grain FMJ Flat Nose / 2,350 fps…
350 Power Max Bonded® 160 grain Bonded JHP / 2,225 fps…
350 Super Suppressed™ 265 grain Open Tip / 1,060 fps…
The 350 Legend is rated at a s.a.a.m.i. maximum average pressure of 55,000 psi…
BORE/GROOVE is .346/.355……….. Now knowing this information, I would NOT use .358 diameter bullets in a factory chambered rifle! Reason being is that the factory chamber is cut with a .357 diameter throat, then it tapers down to .355 (which is 9mm)…
Factory barrel’s are 9mm and are NOT .357 or .358, but with the throating that Winchester is using, and using bullets of softer construction, those bullets can and do squeeze down in diameter to pass through the bore without issue!
New rifles or barrels offered through me, will have the correct 9mm bore and groove diameter and will be throated specifically for. 357 diameter bullets…
I should be able to tweak a few dimensions on the reamer to make it BETTER, since it is now s.a.a.m.i. spec’d reamer and the final dimensions have already been made…
Again, my apologies for the deletion of the other posts. Any questions, I will take them straight to the source and make sure that any and all answers are correct before posting…

So hopefully with the entrance of this round, there will now be heavier options for 9mm bullets for handguns. I do like the idea of this round too

I have a CZ 527 and a 35 cal Douglas air gauges barrel.
Thoughts on length?

So basically the Soviet suppressed answer to the 300 whisper,.......9x39mm It’s supposed to be an awesome round!!!

They should have named it the 9mm Creedmore Gen 2 Super Tactical. Woulda sold more rifles. Lol.
In all seriousness, this looks like another nice round for the AR hunting crowd. If I were going down that road, the 450 Bushmaster would likely be my choice for bigger game.

Any thoughts , opinions , ideas on the 350 Legend? Wouldnt mind having an Ar upper in this rimless 357 Max, or a short and handy bolt action like the Ruger Ranch rifle. I would rather see Ruger make a 77/357max. I have a T/C contender with a 18" bl in 357max and a Ruger 77/357. I wish I could breed the two rifles to have a 77/357. Lol

Still have a couple things to massage and awaiting dies, for the balance of the barrels and uppers I have to assemble. Should be able to send a couple out for an objective opinions here in the near future. Should be great on deer and hogs. Had to keep my cards close on this one until I found it would work. Kaytod, can you give us the case head diameter? I've seen a chamber reamer drawing that has the chamber base at 0.392" but I haven't seen exact case dimensions yet, apart from length. I'm assuming the head is closer to 357 Max than 9mm, but was wondering. Thanks! .473 Head .500 Body Dies finally arrived from CH4D yesterday. Form dies work perfectly, loaded my first dummy round without any flaws. Will form, load and shoot some with the proper dies, not my Rube Goldberg homemade ones, ASAP
