None of them do. They are all 0.355" bullets in the 350 Legend. A properly cut SAAMI throat (0.357") will not accept a legal diameter bullet. Per the passed code, the bullet has to be 0.357" or larger for use on public ground. I can't even find anywhere in code that names the cartridge as legal. It is just a sentence stated in the reg book; I don't believe that makes it code. I'd bet the ranch that the wording in the Regulation Book would stand up in a court of law. This is all a much ado about nothing. I guarantee no one will get cited for using a .350 Legend..ever. While I agree no one will ever get cited for it the 312 Ind. Admin. Code 9-3-3 specifically states "Fire a bullet of three hundred fifty-seven thousandths (.357) of an inch diameter or larger." And there's a big disclaimer on the website and in the hunting guide that says that " This is a summary of Indiana hunting and trapping regulations. It is designed as a service to sportsmen and women and is not intended to be a complete digest of all hunting and trapping regulations. Most regulations are subject to change by administrative rule"

Bottom line if you are concerned, contact the authority having jurisdiction over the property you are hunting to confirm whether they will accept it or not.

Ever! And your never have your ammunition checked also being it’s a posted Legal gun.

350 Legend

Resurrecting this thread. I haven’t posted in a long time. I’ve been in the gun shopping mood for a couple years now and added a Winchester XPR sporter in 350 legend to the ranks. Topped it with Leupold’s VX Freedom with the 350 Legend dial. Long story short, it’s been doe reduction season on the two farms I hunt and had an opportunity to stretch the 350s legs tonight. Ranged the doe at 199, turned the elevation knob to the 200 setting and squeezed off a round. She didn’t run 50 yards before I heard her crash in the woods she ran into. First blood for this gun and first for me in 3 years. Perfect round for anyone. Not just for the “recoil sensitive” as other “experts” might claim. It did as good a job as any 308, .30-06, 45-70, or 30-30 I’ve shot has done. For reference I was shooting Winchester’s Deer Season XP 150 grain round. What bases and rings you use? Anyone have this gun also….

If you want to worry about .002 of an inch have @ it. It's been explained, accepted and approved for use and that's good enough IMO. I have been a machinist my entire life. And have trained many incoming guys wanting to be one. I will say a majority of C.O.'s that would check a bullet couldn't accurately mic within .002 of a inch with a micrometer that they use very little. And even worse most would probably use a set of dial calipers.

Thanks

Back in the day muzzle loaders had to be .44 or larger. Many folks used sabot 44 mag bullets. With few exceptions .429/.430 diameter. Anyone know 1 person that got cited?
