About 350 Legend Ammunition
Introduced by Winchester in 2019, the .350 Legend was designed as a straight-walled cartridge optimized for hunting in areas where regulations prohibit the use of bottlenecked cartridges. It provides a blend of low recoil, straight-walled legality, and effective ballistics for distances out to about 200-250 yards. Notably, the cartridge is designed to function in semi-automatic firearms such as AR-15s due to their common use throughout the country.
Types of 350 Legend Loadings
- Full Metal Jacket (FMJ): Like the name suggests, these types of loadings feature projectiles which are adorned with metal jacketing. This jacket is generally made of copper and will cover the tip and sides of the projectile. Typically, the base of the projectile is left uncoated.These types of loadings are well-suited for range use and are some of the most common types of ammo one will encounter.
- Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP): JHP loadings feature hollow point projectiles which are adorned with a full metal jacket. These loadings are generally found in the form of defensive ammo offerings and are designed to facilitate reliable expansion upon impact. Additionally, these types of loadings are designed to achieve adequate levels of penetration for defensive purposes while not over penetrating the target and risking collateral damage. A good hollow point loading is one that achieves an appropriate level of penetration while expanding reliably upon impact within the target.
