Stupidity, unnecessary and just marketing.

I didn't know there was a 350 legend.

In fairness, you don't know a lot of things!

I am waiting for the 450 legend.

I am waiting for the 450 legend.

I am waiting for 500 Legend. The legend to beat all legends.

Until the 500 Legend Long, for the .308 length actions!

I like the 10MM and I like the 6.8 spc, so yes I would like a 16" heavy barrel for the Ar-15 in 400 Legend. just need Barnes or Makers to start making a 200 - 240 gr bullet for it Bengal is making a 240gr hard cast already.

Well, you just described pop-culture and politics in one fell swoop!

It's obviously a Gen Z'er that has a very high opinion of itself.

Only benefit to this round that I can see is if you live in a state which doesn't allow hunting with necked cartridges and limits the size of the cartridge case. I think .360 buckhammer is the other new one for that same restricted hunting purpose.

If using for big game the .400 legend is only good for 225 yards if you use the 1000 fpe rule, whereas something like a .308 doesn't drop to 1000fpe until 575-625 yards or so. Seems to me that this cartridge makes no sense in a non restricted state.

Like, does it have to be 500 Legend, or just a .50 straight walled cartridge? Because there are a few of those already (.50 Beo, 500 Auto Max).

As for me I can say I am happy to have another big bore AR cartridge. I would honestly take one in all the major calibers, from .35 cal all the way up to .50. And I want a variation in straight walled and bottleneck, just to make sure all the bases are covered.

Small bores want love to. 7mm Legend

that would be perfect as the necked version of the 350 Legend. I want it.

Brain fart; ~9mm is .35 cal, 7mm is .27. Can we start a "big bore .22" trend and call it that?

Hmmm...mabe go down to a 5mm bullet, shorten the case and even make it rimfire. The 5mm Legend lives!

It's a big bore .17 HMR! you can even use the .17 as the parent case and neck it up to accept the larger bullet. What is not to like about that?

Sounds like a job for @arakboss!
