To be honest I really haven't looked into the .350 legend much. Hoping to have some first hand knowledge here in a couple of weeks when the youth season comes in.

I glanced at the ballistics and the 350 is a little lighter in velocity and bullet weight but the difference is around 10% in a broad sampling. I may be full of it, but IMO shock effect in many of the faster rounds is overrated, especially with hogs. The 35 Remington often doesn't go all the way through a hog and dumps all its energy quickly, especially the round nose bullet. It is a hundred-yard gun, it retains plenty of energy at a hundred yards. Enough energy to expand a 180 grain pro hunter round nose, IMO guaranteed to knock them down. My 35 Remington with a 200 grain bullet semi-round nose, will inevitably make a running hog change direction, where my .308 usually doesn't and a pass-through IMO is a lot of wasted energy. Let us know how it works. I suspect round choice is going to play a big part in how well it works. And learning the bullet drop out to 150 hundred yards or so.
