been reading some articles on the 350 legend. maybe i was'nt giving it a fair chance. they claim it to be the fastest straight walled cartridge out there. also most of the articles don't recommend going past 150 yrds. but does show energy ft lbs of 984 @ 200 yrds . i believe the recommend ft lbs of energy should always be above 1000. in which 984 is not that far off. i will wait to see how it does in it's first year of deer hunting in ohio. also they talk about recoil being so reduced. may try to find somebody with one & see how it actually does shoot.
