According to Hodgdon’s website, it looks like it uses magnum pistol powders, similar to 300aac and 450 bushmaster (IMR4227, 296/H110, Lil’gun). While bullet selection looks mainly to use 9mm pistol bullets, 125gr Barnes TAC-xp and 147gr XTP. It also uses 180gr Winchester powerpoint bullets which look to be a pistol/rifle hybrid. That’s just from the one website.
It looks like an interesting round, I just find it funny that Hodgdon already has data for 350 legend but it still doesn’t have anything for 458 socom years later.
Interested in this myself..

I have used lil gun and 4227 with good results. 1680 I am working up now but seems very dirty hope that goes away on the higher end. will try reloader 7 soon.
Looking into this for a buddy... I personally refuse to buy one. I'm salty because I can't use my 35 remington. Lol
My experience with 1680 in 300aac and 6.8spc has also been dirty and unimpressive.
Has anyone come up with more data for the 350? I just ordered a bolt gun on Monday. Hopefully it will be here soon. I have found a little info on a couple of different sites. I can post the screen shots if needed.
Looks sharp! Ive been toying with the idea of getting one of those

I am hoping to take it out tomorrow for its maiden range trip.
Great. Let us know how it does.

So, here are the results from today's trip to the range to shoot the 350 Legend for the first time. Both groups was shot from 100 yards. The first group is the Hornady American Whitetail 170 gr Soft Point. The second group is 5 of the Winchester 145 grain white box and 5 shots of hand loaded Hornady 147 grain XTP. The total size of the 10 shots was 1.75". The 170 grain group was right at 1".https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7623f2eed3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5ec58d2590.jpg
That’s a good start. Nothing wrong with that.

I was very impressed. I am really wanting to try out the Hornady 165 FTX. As soon as the become available again I will be ordering them to try. I did shoot the 170 grains through the chrono. They are just over 2100 fps. The 145 and 147 was close to 2300 fps..
Have you thought about using 357 bullets and swaging them down. Could give you a few more bullet choices.
JTD
No I have not. I will stick with the available bullets for now. If I cannot find something that works really well I will look in to swaging down other options.
Ive got a ruger American ranch in 300 blackout. That thing is superbly accurate. I’m not surprised your rifle is shooting well.

I finally got a hold of the Hornady 165 FTX bullets. Shot 10 of the through the chrono yesterday. I loaded them to max per the Hornady data using H110 (26.0 grains). They ranged from 2150-2175 fps. They grouped per well (1.25") at 100 yards. I really think they will shoot better. Had a lot of bugs flying around yesterday. I also shot the Barnes 125 TAC-XP 357 Sig bullets through it. They too are loaded to max per the data the I found on shootersreference.com using H110 (26.3 grains). Shooting them through the chrono they was close 3100 FPS. Shot a 1" 5 shot group.
Good results so far!
