In the AR-15, the 350 Legend bridges the gap quite nicely between the more popular sub-.30 caliber offerings and the 45 and 50 caliber thumpers. It's basically an AR compatible 357 Maximum, but with much less reloading data available.

From what I've seen, it's supposed to take .357" bullets. .358" rifle bullets presumably probably work just fine. People use them in 357 Maximum single shots with no trouble.

I want to use my 9mm carbine some time ... If the legend is legal maybe my 9mm will be as well....

Wouldn't be my first choice, but I have seen videos of people pulling it off with the right bullet.

From what I can gather, compared to a 16 1/4" 357 Maximum (I couldn't find the 350 Legend's barrel length), the Legend has about 50 to 150 fps more velocity than the Maximum. A 20+" Maximum would probably have nearly identical ballistics.
