I've really been looking hard at the 350 Legend. I'm not entirely sold on any of the rifles currently offered in the caliber but that may change. The thing that I find attractive about the Legend is that on the one hand it can be loaded to almost mimic the 30-30 winchester as a deer cartridge. On the other it would seem that since it can be loaded with any bullet designed for the 9mm (.355 diameter) it should be capable of being a relatively inexpensive (if you reload) plinker when loaded with hardcast bullets and pistol or shotgun powders. I was considering going that same route with my 30-30 but the bullet options are better for the Legend and bullet prices cheaper (also easier to find). Also, my 30-30 turned 120 years old this year and even though it has probably killed more deer than General Motors I am becoming more reluctant to keep beating the heck out of it year after year. Now finally my question, have any members done any experimenting with this caliber. I'm really anxious to hear about any other members experience with reduced loads. A second question, at about what velocity do you start needing gas checks. I've never loaded cast bullets for a rifle before so I'm still pretty new to the learning curve.
