.350 Legend

[Ohiosam]

New straight wall cartridge from Winchester. .357 caliber, rimless (so it'll feed in bolt and semi-autos). Not much info yet, I expect more info will come at the Shot show.

I imagine it will be smokin. .357 will be very light and it looks to have the same length as .450 bm, .45-70, and the like

Found this when I googled it. It gave a little info on the round but not much more. Guess we’ll have to wait until someone reads the complete story.

Interesting....

That looks like it will be one heck of a choice! Perfect for kids too.

You've got to figure Ruger will be all over getting a model in that chamber. Will be interesting to see if any other companies jump on board.

I bought this Zastava Mini Mauser action a few years ago and I think this might be the cartridge it was waiting for.

I see another AR in my future! That's a wicked round!

Awaiting more info and pricing...sounds like a good round to carry in the truck. Hit a coyote in the tail and kill it.

In the last few years I’ve acquired a 45-70 and 450 bushmaster. At some point I’ve got to quit jumping on bandwagons. I don’t know that I’m to that point yet.

So far I'm very glad I've waited to jump on the straight-arm cartridge train. This new round might finally pull me in.

Looks like a lot of positives. Should make a good youth option too with the low recoil.

Anybody own any newer Winchester rifles? How's the quality? I'm more of a Ruger guy.

I'll be looking forward to AR uppers in this caliber

I’m with you. I’ve been extremely impressed with my Ruger American in 450. It’s affordable and absolutely drives tacks. Although I’ll admit the package deals Winchester is offering are tempting!

Don’t get in a hurry, you’ll probably see one in an American....

It should be an easy for any rifle that is chambered in .223 to be chambered in this. .357 barrel availability might be a problem until capacity increases.

This new caliber, by looking at the specs, is the .357 maximum reincarnated. I push, depending on the load, a 180 gr bullet between 2250 and 2500 FPS out of my two .357 Max rifles with extreme accuracy, downrange energy, and low recoil.

The real beauty of this introduction is that they are introducing a line of rifles for this new caliber. This will make rifles and ammunition readily available to everyone. Today all .357 Maximum guns are custom and you must hand load the rounds.

This will out perform any shotgun round available with better accuracy, extended range and much less recoil and much lower costs per shot. This would fit any hunters needs but be especially good for anyone sensitive to recoil and kids.

Giles needs one of these in a single shot so he can again kill every deer he shoots at
