The .350 Legend, also called 350 LGND (9×43mmRB), is a SAAMI-standardized [2] straight-walled intermediate rifle cartridge developed by Winchester Repeating Arms. The cartridge was designed for use in American states that have specific regulations for deer hunting with straight-walled centerfire cartridges.
However, there are multiple companies worldwide who make 9.3mm (.366") Mauser bullets which are suitable for reloading in the 9×39, including Hornady, Barnes, Nosler, Prvi Partizan, Lapua, and others. Redding Reloading produces a set of full size reloading dies.
350 Legend : Proprietary. The head and rim dimensions exactly match the military 5.56x45 case, allowing the use of the standard bolt-face of an AR-15. However, the case has an added taper and is longer than 5.56x45 cases, so these cannot be reformed from any other existing case.
While a few gun writers in the 1960s criticized the .351 SL for being inadequate as a deer hunting round, and the round's power has sometimes been compared to a .357 Magnum carbine load, the .351 SL's killing power falls somewhere between the .30-30 Winchester and the .35 Remington.
RCBS reloading dies are also currently available for the cartridge. When firing a 9.7 g (150 gr) AccuBond Long Range bullet from a rifle with a 660 mm (26 in) barrel, the .27 Nosler has an approximately 120 m/s (400 ft/s) advantage over the .270 Winchester , about a 90 m/s (300 ft/s) advantage over the .270 WSM , and about a 30–46 m/s (100 ...

The parent case (5.56×45mm NATO) was trimmed down to 1.560" and re-sized with a 7.62×40mm WT sizing die. [3] The overall case length after the shortening and re-sizing is 1.565". The cartridge was designed to use .308" diameter bullets in weights of 110 to 150 grains, with a standard twist rate of 1-12". [ 1 ]
The case design of the .350 Magnum allowed for its use in compact, fast-handling rifles. [3] Though the Remington 600 and 660 chambered for the cartridge offered an excellent power-to-weight ratio, the combination failed to attain commercial success. [4] Maximum pressure for the .350 Magnum is set at 53,000 CUP by SAAMI.
