You find load data for 3 Winchester bullets in caliber .350 Legend either below or in our load database by clicking the 'Matching Loads' button above More about this caliber: The .350 Legend is a rifle cartridge developed by Winchester Ammunition in 2019. It was designed as a straight-walled cartridge that would be legal for deer hunting in states that have restrictions on the use of high-powered rifle cartridges.
The cartridge is based on a modified .223 Remington case, which was lengthened and necked up to accept .357 caliber bullets. The resulting cartridge has a bullet diameter of .357 inches and a case length of 1.71 inches.
The .350 Legend is capable of firing bullets weighing between 145 and 265 grains at muzzle velocities ranging from 2,100 to 2,300 feet per second. It is a relatively mild cartridge that is suitable for hunting a wide range of game animals, including deer, black bear, and wild hogs.
One of the main advantages of the .350 Legend is its compatibility with the AR-15 platform, which is popular among hunters and shooters. The cartridge was designed to function reliably in semi-automatic rifles, and it has quickly gained popularity among hunters and shooters who appreciate its mild recoil and long-range accuracy.
In addition to hunting, the .350 Legend is also suitable for use in target shooting and recreational shooting. It is widely available and relatively affordable compared to some of the more specialized cartridges on the market.

Winchester
Oliver Fisher Winchester was an innovative and driven man who saw the future of firearms and built an industrial empire around the lever-action rifle. Born in Boston in 1810, Winchester’s initial foray into business was as a maker of men’s shirts. Seeing the economic potential of the fast-growing firearms industry, Winchester began to assemble investors and secure venture capital, and in 1857 bought a controlling interest in the Volcanic Repeating Arms Company from two inventive gentlemen named Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson.
Winchester continued to refine firearm designs with inventors Benjamin Tyler Henry and Nelson King, and on May 22,1866 the Winchester Repeating Arms Company was born. For the next 14 years Winchester aggressively sought new markets, created new products and explored new opportunities for his lever-action rifles. With the opening of the American West to settlement and the ongoing military conflicts in Europe and the Near East, the demand for Winchester firearms and ammunition remained strong. In ill health for some time, Oliver F. Winchester died December 11, 1880 at age 70 in New Haven, Connecticut. He had groomed his son, William Wirt Winchester as his successor, but the younger Winchester died of tuberculosis in March of the following year before he could assume control of Winchester Repeating Arms.
