    I know I am 2 years late and a dollar short to this conversation but I just came across this on UA-cam. A senior Ohio hunter here and used a Savage Axis II XP 350 Legend during the 2023 season. Three deer taken (my county's limit) across 4 days of hunting. The first made it about 45 yards with a shoulder/double lung shot. The second down immediately at 28 yards with a head shot. The third I took at 58 yards and reminds me of the deer taken in this video at 5:10. Back-flipped and managed to go another 20 yards downhill before piling up. A couple of observations. I'll take shot placement over knockdown power any day; although both work well together :). And the 350 Legend is a deceptively wonderful deer cartridge. For the record, used the Winchester Deer Season XP 150 grain Extreme Point...

    Second year using the 350. Last year killed a doe at 200 yards dropped on the spot. This year, a 7 point ran 40 yards and dropped. On the last day of our season my son dropped a doe in her tracks. My hunting partner uses a 270 and shot a doe she ran 70 yards before expiring. All four shots were good placement and terrific bullet performance. Deer are hearty animals. Love the 350, accurate and fun to shoot.

    I get a genuine chuckle when I hear some of these know-it-all armchair gunnery Seargent's talk about how "weak" the 350 lgnd is! hahaha! Dude, my late uncle dropped sooooooooooooo many deer with a Marlin 336 in .35 Remington and a fixed 4X Weaver scope from the early 80's. Deer after deer after deer fell within 40 yards of the hit, and MANY went down there on the spot! Granted all shots were well under 200 yards out, but most of our hunting is in the brush anyways! I see the .350 Legend as nothing more than a modern day version of a cartridge that has already been proven since 1908!!! IT JUST WORKS!

It destroys hogs and bullseyes, and I'm planning to deer hunt with it this year. For medium sized game under 200 yards, it's my favorite gun, hands down.

      The recoil impulse is mild and smooth. I'd actually say my 16" 556 is more snappy than my 350 Legend.
      Aside from the bullet needing lobbed beyond 200 yards... it's a really nice cartridge.

    love the legend. gave it flack when it first came out calling it a nitch cartrige but very quickly changed my mind when i got a hold of one, not only noticing lack of recoil but the ballistics of some rounds including my favorite the 180gr winchester. my first deer ever taken was a reasonably sized 7 point buck shot with a 357mag revolver. i had a choice between a 20ga, muzzleloader and my fathers 357 mag and a few days b4 season i took all 3 to the range and had both cheap optics fail on my 20ga and muzzleloader, didnt have much money back then for equiptment, but luckily the trusty SW686 was printing 3 inch groups open sights off cross sticks at 50 yard. few days later took it out on public and absolutly leveled my 7 pointer at 30 yards. clean pass through heart shot and he hit the ground, made it 5 ft sorta kinda stood up and then just fell right over. shot placement it obviosly #1 thing with any caliber but with that under my belt i had no doubt in my mind a 357 caliber bullet would do the job effectivly but out of a rifle and with a bullet constructed to handle higher velocity impacts i finally accepted the fact that the 350 legend is more then a nitch cartridge or a cartrige for only certain states, but a round that is very well tailored for the deer woods.

      I ended up trying a Bear Creek Armory upper, 16” 416R stainless barrel, and have been pretty satisfied with it, despite their shoddy reputation. It’s a 2 MOA gun wearing Burris glass and an Amazon bipod for around $350 (not including the lower, which I already had kicking around). I have experienced a single minor FTF in around 50 rounds but it got a Buck when it mattered.

      Typically the bigger problem is finding magazines that feed well. I've been using a 20-round CMMG, but I've never loaded it more than half full while shooting targets.
      The grouping isn't as tight as I'd like it (probably about 1MOA)... but I'd chalk that up to the dubious ballastics of the bullets and only using a x12 scope.

    After listening to the remark in the video about the .350 vs the .450 and some of the comments it never ceases to amaze me how many hunters still think you need a whomper-stomper elk round for whitetails! I'm pretty sure Ohio only permits straight-wall rounds, but if you can shoot accurately any of those deer could have been taken with a .243. Seen it done.

    • @jasono2139
      @jasono2139 6 місяців тому

      Yes, Ohio requires SWC ammo for hunting, so you need to pay closer attention to your distance and bullet drop than with much faster ammo.
      I forget what the drop is if you zero the 350 legend @ 150 yards, but it's nearly +2" at 75 yards and then -4" @ 200 yards. (That's for -1.5" bore axis)

      In Indiana you have to use the straight walled cartridges on PUBLIC land. Most of the public land is in the heavily forested and rolling hills of southern Indiana. On PRIVATE land you can use a 308. So basically you can own 5 acres of flat ground in northern and central Indiana and hunt with a round that can go 3 miles. It’s just plain stupid.

      95% of deer taken in Eastern states are shot between 50 and 100 yards. The 350 legend is just as capable as the 30-30 out to 200 yards. I think hunters know what round to use. We do a little thing called zeroing. ... usually right before we go deer hunting.

    I was thinking a lever action, but it would have to be mag fed. I also thought like the remington model 14 which was in 35 remington which wasn't a rimmed cartridge. Plus the model 14 was light, under loading gate like a shotgun, but could use pointed bullets. The mag tube made it so bullets were chanted in the magazine so the pointed tips wouldn't touch primers. That's the best I could think of that isn't magazine fed, but tube fed. Though the 35 remington and the other loadings for the rem model 14 were bottlenecked so idk how that would work.

    The 350 legend is basically a reinvented 357 maximum, which when used in rifle length barrels is a fantastic deer and bear round. Any one that says its not a good big game round is not well versed in firearms. Congrats on your successful hunts!

      @@craiggerster9282 I like the .35 cal rounds a lot. the 350 is flatter shooting and a more versatile round in my opinion. The 450 hits hard, but has more recoil and is not as flat shooting. If your hunting is limited to 100 yards or so, the 450 is great, but I feel like the 350 is just a better overall cartridge, especially in those area limited to straight walled rounds.

I don't mind tracking but I don't want an animal to suffer. Again, it's all about training and shot placement.

    Straight wall cartridges lol. They no doubt work especially since these straight wall-only areas are usually forested and shots are close. Since I live where real rifle cartridges can be used I will probably never use a 350. It's nice that the firearm companies are coming out with more options for those hunters that live in places where the politicians are missing their logic bone.

      No a .270 is not a pea-shooter. In fact if I’m not wrong it packs more of a punch then the .350. I’m not an ammo expert but the .270 is not a straight walled ammo and therefore has more powder in the cartridge.
