Two main challenges to it killing 300blk: magazines and 30 cal cans.
And reloading.

Headspacing off of the case mouth is going to create issues
Only in the sense that proper case length will need to be maintained. Many people reload straight wall cartridges.

We are making a run of barrels for Savage bolt actions now. The short range, straight taper cartridges fit our line up well.  Should be ready around late Feb, just waiting on reamers.

I had heard the Mossberg MVP series took Savage bbls.  Any truth to that rumor, or someone getting confused about the MVP having a Savage type bbl nut?

My search fu at the cast boolits forum must really suck because I can't find my thread from like at least 5 years ago that says cut a .223 off at the shoulder and stuff it with a 9mn bullet/boolit.

Here is the thread I started last October on the 9X39:

http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?370126-A-YouTube-video-for-those-interested-in-the-9X39-coming-to-the-US&highlight=9X39

The replies I got suggested the 9X39 should be stuffed with .35 cal bullets instead.

For you folks who hate trimming, get a case feeder equipped Dillon 650 with a Dillon toolhead mounted trimmer...a small shop vac...and ear muffs and ear buds....and start-!-cranking.

I was making my own version of this cartridge last year except with 9mm bullets and i found that 223AI brass worked better than 223Rem.

Life got busy so i never did anything with it. Glad they did should be a nice round!

Same here.  .30 cal rifle can and .22 can

I’d like more, esp a pistol suppressor but the novelty of them has kind of worn off and given the cost/wait times now the juice isn’t worth the squeeze for me anymore.

I MIGHT try a form 1 pistol can at some point since the eform route seems pretty quick right now....
View Quote
Do it... they're almost as good (I'm not going to pretend they'll meter as well as a really high end can but they do a good job if you follow popular designs) and are a lot less hassle. They are fun to have and show off. I've got commercial cans and while they are nicer, I haven't been disappointed with my f1s either. You might save a little money over a mid range can but not much over one of the cheaper YHMs or AACs.

I can't tell a difference between a commercial 22 can and my diversified machine kit can, and my cheapo aluminum direct thread 9mm for my scorpion sounds about the same as any other can of the same size. Boosters are available and seem pretty high quality as well for pistol use.

Plus it lets you try some weird stuff without heavy investment. Going to do a fat and short can for my ps90 soon I think.

I find the lack of information on this cartridge post-release to be disappointing.
I don't think it was intended as an AR cartridge, at all, so Winchester may not have anticipated its reception.
The idea that a major manufacturer would develop a .223 based cartridge in 2019 and NOT have an AR variant is dumbfounding.

Is that really what happened here?

Knowing Winchester they’ll offer it in a low wall 1885 action or a ‘95 with really deep crescent buttplates and case hardening, no provision for scoping and under the Browning flag with rubber butt pads and scope mounts.

I played around with it some (a bunch actually) in QuickLoad, using 357 Maximum as a base, tweaking specs to match the case length and COAL of the 350 Legend, and matching H20 case capacity of the 357AR (aka 357 Max Rimless) guys over at MDWS forums.

QuickLoad seems to give good results, with the recommended powders matching what the 357AR guys are actually using.

Playing around with Winchester 296 and working up a load that pushed the Hornady 200 FTX @ ~2,000fps from 20" barrel, you could drop all the way to 7.5" barrel and still be pushing 1,650fps. That bullet probably isn't effective at that velocity, but it's a good example of how little velocity you lose when you chop 2/3 of the barrel off.

Once you get into micro barrel territory, you could start using heavy 357 Magnum pistol bullets that still expand at those velocities. I think you could get the 180gr Swift A-frame pistol bullet going 1500+fps even from 4" barrel

EDIT - a 4" barrel AR in 350 Legend with a Dead Air Wolf-9SD in shorty configuration would be an awesome PDW for HD. 8" in length for barrel + silencer, pushing a heavy bonded Swift A-frame 180gr pistol bullet at 1,500fps

EDIT2 - Combine a 4" 350 Legend AR, Dead Air Wolf-9SD, and the new integral-buffer Law Tactical carrier that can fire while folded, and you'd have a suppressed 350 PDW shooting 180-grain bonded hollowpoints at 1,500fps while being less than 16" in length.

Did I just win the Army's SCW RFI?

Just like IA. No bottleneck calibers but here they allow .45-70, .444 Marlin and .375 Winchester. All have similar realistic range to .30-30, maybe a bit longer. But since it's a scary bottleneck caliber I can't hunt deer with it. Fox and coyote, no problem. Poor choice for the job but it would be legal.

.357 maximum was originally designed to fire 180 or highet grain bullets at .357 magnum velocities. Top strap cutting didn't becime a problem until people started handloading it with 110 and 125 grain bullets and max charges for hyper velocity.

Turns out the lighter,shorter bullets were getting past the cylinder gap well before gas pressure began to drop. The extra length of the heavier bullets plugged the gap long enough for this to be a nonissue.

Smith&Wesson sells certain ultralight .357 revolvers with a warning to use certain bullet weights. There is no reason Maximum can't be reintroduced in a good gun with the same warning.

Would be a nonissue in a rifle barrel. No cylinder gap to worry about, the worst issue would be faster throat erosion, and theeven the faster TE wouldn't likely be as fast as something like a .22-250. Just watch for pressure signs like any other off the books load.

I have been dragging my heals on getting a big-bore AR.

The .300 kaboom issue, the .458 SOCOM bolt face relieved until it is almost gone.
The  minuses kept adding up to the pluses.

This round though, it is all pluses.
I can't wait to see how it does suppressed, now I am looking at .22lr, .223, .45acp, and .35 caliber cans.

I dont know if this has been posted already, but what does this bullet do coming out of various barrel lengths? And would 16" or longer be better? or is short barrels fine, like with .300 AAC?
Here's some 14" data on the 357 Maximum, which would be the closest thing.

Not that impressive. Again, if not stuck to straight wall hunting laws, it’s meh. I’ll stick with 6.8.

The .357 Max is listed as having a maximum pressure of 40,000psi. The .350 Legend is 55,000.

Never assume.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Do not use .223 cases in .350 Legend chambers!

The .350 has a larger diameter case just ahead of the extractor groove making it a rebated rim cartridge. Case head separation is a possibility using .223 brass.
