I would guess the production lines for 350/400 Legend's have had the brakes put on them a bit or at least some serious meetings about it. Just no reason for anyone to buy these in Michigan now.
As a kid in Nebraska my dad and I had a road hunter shoot into the bottom where we were hunting. Heard the bullet scream over our heads and then heard the shot. Scared the heck out of me. I see a lot of people driving around here looking into fields that shouldn't be. The prospect of them being able to reach out a bit further is not something I'm looking forward to.

Think 350 lege d will live on. Straight walled single shots are allowed during muzzleloader season in most places.
If they came out with 350 legend in 2000 or so, id own one.
Unless ny laws change or I leave ny, ki da okwith what I have.
Saw a nice 101winchester last week. I only have a 870 and mossberg 500 in 20ga. Really regret selling my citori 12ga.

yet. did you guys catch the not donation or open distribution of gun killed game meat bill? Geeze......i wonder what the intention is there and how that would affect venison donation and game dinners. Kathy should be spelled with a "C"
Terrible, terrible, whitetail cartridge.
I was part of a small group that did crop damage deer control on property owned by a major fortune 500 company. Their request was we use .350L to keep noise and attention at a minimum. Just under 400 kills in 5 years. Most times things went as expected...but way too many times we saw terminal performance that just defied logic and biology for that matter. And we tried every cartridge there is (Bear Creek was best but still far from acceptable).
They sold the property into a conservation easement last year, so no more deer killing there...but I'll never willingly use a .350L on a whitetail again.

Been hearing the same thing since they came out and wondering the same thing as well? Those diameter bullets at those speeds killed deer just fine for a hundred years or so. Suddenly they don't work?
I think it's just a KE issue. It was promoted as .30-30 performance in a straight wall. Traditional mild bottlenecks like .30-30 and .35 rem pack considerably more punch at distance.

I always assumed it was people shooting them like they were .270's and 7Rem Mags and expecting the same results.
I see more and more of that with people hunting with heavy subsonics, then they're confused why they don't drop in their tracks. They need to break them down, break bones, they're not going to knock them down with shock.

I do.
I have bad luck with copper bullets. Like mind blowing, head scratching, "how the F did that happen", inexplicable kind of failures.
Never had a problem with lead bullets. Even killed a huge red stag with an ELD-X at short range.
Used to have great results with Barnes copper bullets from shotguns, but smaller caliber copper bullets just don't seem to be consistent enough yet.
