Not going there yet . But for future reference.
With all the hype about the legend getting 2100fps out of a 16 inch barrel with a 180 grain bullet.
What I understand is the 350 legend is only really any good for under 150 meters anyway.
Was thinking a 357 mag gets that with a 125 grain bullet. And I have heard of safe .357 rifle loads that are just a bit hotter then the regular.
156 grain in a rifle achieving 1850 fps, in a 357 rifle that is only 250 fps difference.
Guess what I am getting at. Could the .357 magnum lever rifle, or maybe even a .44 magnum, have a cast bullet load made for it, and be a comparable to the 350 legend at 150 yards, for white tail sized deer?
