350 Legend
- Thread starter Belt Fed
- Start date
It’s a popular youth deer cartridge here in Indiana and ammo isn’t to pricey. Public land has a straight wall requirement. But with them opening up all rifles to private land not sure it’s a big seller to those folks that take people 16 and up hunting on private.
It’s not a bad round and easily reloaded for!

it's decent 9mil cartridge as better suited for deer than 9x19. depending on the states 1 lives in, it's a great choice for ar's of limited mag capacities. might be closer to 38spl/357mag than 9x19/357sig diameter bullets. i don't remember which it is (iirc .355 than .357/.358")?
I like Aero Precision products. I've have quite a few Aero project builds. I'm currently putting this Aero M5 set together in .308. I was originally going to build an 8.6 Blackout rifle with this set but I'm still undecided with that cartridge being such a new caliber so I went the safe route with .308. I may change the barrel out eventually to the 8.6 Blackout.

Pretty neat design on that. I'm probably going to go by there tomorrow and see what he will do it for. He said it will be a good deal. we will see. If i owned the upper lower and rail i would do it myself. does the 350 legend require a different follower in the mag they opened a straight wall cartridge season here this year.
Youll need to buy some .350 legend AR mags. You can find them online for short money.

I believe the 350l is a single stack like 450b, 458soc and 12.7x42

Been looking around and seems there is a ton of complaints about this cartridge feeding in an AR platform. i did find a plastic mag from wilson combat. it's just a lancer mag and it has a lot of complaints. but it has 300 blackout on the side. supposed to have a different follower.

Not knowing how the feed ramps are can be a problem. I guessed i haven't looked at this cartridge much. Some base as 223 (i didn't realize)? I would stick with metal mags as to adjust feedlips if needed cause poly won't be able too. I'll ask on some other forums to find out what works.
I built a .350 Legend with a Wilson 16” barrel. I load mine with minimum load of Lil Gun powder with 124 gr. 9mm RN bullets. The maximum overall length in the charts is 2.050”, but mine doesn’t feed reliably at that length. At 2.12” they feed fine and are pretty accurate.
Looking at the feed ramps of my Wilson barrel, the 124 gr. RN bullet profile is not a match for the feed ramps, but at a slightly longer length, they feed fine. I have also loaded some 170 gr. Hornady bullets, also with Lil Gun, and they work just fine.

I have a side charging 16" build. It's on a New Frontier Armory C-3 lower. No optics just open sights.
Magazines can be a issue. I found that on polymer magazines if you make a slight cupping notch in the front it makes feeding easier. The bullet will sometimes catch on the front of the.223/5.56 magazines.
I use colored electrical tape on the magazines so I'll remember which ones have been modified for a caliber.
Works with 450 Bushmaster as well.
