I got the savage axis II xp model. Nothing fancy, but for me it felt good and as long as it goes bang and hits what I’m aiming at I’m good. I have the Ruger American in 30-06 and it’s 3 for 3 on deer and a bonus coyote, but decided to get something for public land as well, presuming the rules stay the same.

What did you get? I've been looking at the Ruger predator .350 legend. I got the Predator because of the 22" barrel verses the 16.1" the Ranch carries. Hopefully they have a little more market availability now. It took just under 3 months and 2 different dealers to actually get mine in my hands. It's rigged and ready to go, but got it too late for this past season.

Have you got to shoot it yet? Nope. I had a chair break on me and dropped me on the hip I just had surgery on about 4 days before the gun came in. I went to the woods one day after that with some friends and pulled treestands. That's been all my adventures since before Thanksgiving. I haven't even gotten to bore site it because my batteries are dead. Depressing really.

Just a barrel, and a mag right? The 556 BCG is good to go for a .350? Just a barrel and a mag is all you need.

Finally got around to shooting my 350 legend. Been sitting collecting dust since January. Rifle sure feels good when I shoot it. Took me a bit to get it sighted in. Was shooting way low and right to start off with. Slowly walked it in and it’s good to go now. Just need to find some more of the same Winchester ammo now. Seems hard to find.

Finally shot my 350 legend. I only had 80 rounds between 4 types of ammo with no liklihood of finding anymore.
Used three rounds to sight it at 100, picked out 2 types of ammo and shot 3 rounds. Picked the best and shot it at 75, 50, and 25 then matched it too my ballistics calculator.
Plugged 200 yards into the calculator, result was 8" holdover. So i held 8 inches and it was money.
Ill withhold full judgement till I see what it does to a deer, but this may be the perfect deer round (for me).
Oh, and it kicks like a kitten.

I know one person that has one and he's impressed with how it shoots and the lack of recoil.

Just about every Walmart in NW Indiana has 350L rounds on the shelf. I have about 5 different kinds of hunting rounds, and the one cheap white box plinkers. Now finally got dies and bullets on the way. Got a bunch of brass already, primers, and powder waiting impatiently.

If anyone is looking, Midway has the hornady ftx bullet in stock Thank you!!! Very much appreciated. I got 2 boxes coming. That's the bullet I have been waiting on. It's a good design, and probably one of the best weight for the 350L since it's right in the middle of weight choices. I will give a report after I shake them down... Thanks again.

Ive had several notifications set and jumped as soon as I saw them. I got my dies a little while back and I already had powder and primers (not my preferred powder), so Ill likely start working something up.

I went right to Lilgun and had easy success. I recently scored a couple #'s, so I will be good for awhile. H110 will also work. I am running thru an AR as well, and very pleased with results.

They say it's from the same powder jug, just branded differently. Every manual I have seen shows it exactly same load info as H110.
