The .350 Legend is a SAAMI-approved straight-walled hunting cartridge developed by Winchester Repeating Arms.
The .350 Legend was designed for use in American states that have specific regulations for deer hunting with straight-walled centerfire cartridges.[2][3]
Winchester, the cartridge's designer, claims that the .350 Legend is "the fastest straight-walled hunting cartridge in the world."[2][4] It is designed for deer hunting out to a maximum effective range of 250 yards (230 m).[3]
The .350 Legend shares many characteristics with the .223 Remington, the case is 2.26 inches (57 mm) long with a rim diameter of .378 inches (9.6 mm), but it is not derived from the .223 Remington.[2][3] Because of its similarities to the.223 Remington and 5.56 mm NATO, the .350 Legend is suitable for use in AR-15 type semiautomatic rifles,[1][3] although it will not in fit standard AR-15 magazines.[3]
