The .350 Legend is a straight-wall deer cartridge Winchester introduced in 2019. It fires .355 to .357-inch bullets from a case with the same rim diameter and overall length as the .223 Remington, so an AR-15 conversion keeps the standard bolt and swaps the barrel. Bolt-action and single-shot rifles are chambered for it too. Straight-wall deer rules drove its popularity, and those rules differ, so check your state's hunting-cartridge rules.
Most loads here are 165 to 180-grain soft points or polymer tips at 2,100 to 2,200 fps, meant for whitetail inside about 200 yards. Barnes VOR-TX 170gr TSX is solid copper, for lead-free areas and deeper penetration. Hornady Subsonic 250gr Sub-X runs 1,050 fps for suppressed rifles; it needs its own zero, and you should confirm your AR cycles it before a hunt.

Advantages and Disadvantages
Pros
- Less recoil than .450 Bushmaster, since it pushes 165 to 180-grain bullets at about the same 2,100 to 2,200 fps.
- An AR-15 conversion keeps the standard .223 bolt, where .450 Bushmaster needs its own bolt and magazines.
- A 250-grain subsonic load gives suppressed rifles a quiet option for close deer and hogs.
Cons
- Smaller, lighter bullets than .450 Bushmaster or .45-70 leave less margin on bear or large hogs.
- Drops steeply past about 200 yards compared with bottlenecked cartridges like .243 Win or .308 Win.
- Where straight-wall rules don't apply, a bottlenecked deer cartridge shoots flatter for similar recoil.
