    I have shot some yes. That as well as the 358315 RN version

    The RN didn’t do well with powders I tried. The RCBS358-200 is like your lee and shot pretty good for me.

    I borrowed a MP 220-359 HP I’m Trying next (looks just like the bullets we are talking about.

    Nice lookin' boolits there CW!

    I cast and gas checked mine then dry sized them all before PC then after, did a lubed sizing to 0.001" over bore size.

    I decided to work up the load from scratch using Hogdons base with W296/H110 on the 180gr pill listed. I ended at 21gr of H110 on top of Federal SRP primers, and saw no evidence of re-flow or flattening, the case didn't seem to elongate either.

    I am impressed with the grouping I got at 50 yds, my red dot is 3 MOA and all 15 rounds ended under the dot with nice splatter (I shoot steel) stars spreading evenly. Group was about 1.5".

    Bear Creek made a nice upper, the barrel remains clean visually and I have a big ole' smile on my face!

    Gents, I really apologize for the ignorant question. I just barely started researching 350 Legend dies, so I apologize if this has been asked and answered already. I haven't done nearly the amount of reading on this subject yet as I should. But...

    Does anyone make a carbide sizing die for 350 Legend? My limited searching hasn't come up with one yet.

    Thanks for taking it easy on me and my laziness today.

    Hello Phil.

    No, not that I am aware of and it’s unlikely a cuss Winchester choose to taper the case by blowing it out a few thousandths at the web.

    I have read of guys sizing on 9mm or 357 Dies. Neither one will bring the case back to spec but might allow chambering albeit not good for brass life.

    Lining the brass isn’t a big deal.

    I'm loading the Lee bullet, haven't gotten great accuracy yet, but I've probably only shot 50 or so. I think I like how LG works with this bullet. What oal are you using?

    So, has anyone maxed out a 90-110gr pistol bullet in a .350L yet? Seems that you could really splatter some jugs/varmints with some JHPs at 2700+fps. Just cuirous. I haven't seen anyone try the lighter end of the spectrum yet.

    Just the 124gr pills from Barry's, they held together well at 2300 fps and punched nice holes in 16ga steel from 50 yds.

    I have the 90 and 110 grain molds but there is no way they will load in my AR even being seated to the edge of the heel.

    I just acquired a 350Legend AR Upper from Bear Creek, dies and brass from a LGS (that robbed me...) and have test fired a couple of 180 Gr loads and am quite happy so far. I had a pint container of the RCBS 358 SIL style gas checked and sized to .358 and it was an easy task to size them to .356 many years later. I loaded them with 22 gr of H110, LEE dies, no FCD I just ran them twice thru the sizer die and crimped to take the bell from the case mouth and they cycled the gun just fine, primers looked good (Wolf SR) and it was new Starline brass. At first I resisted because of the brass and 9mm issue but the upper was so affordable I can easily get a couple hundred pieces of brass and be set regardless of the future for this round. I like it, I have a 223, 6.5 Grendel, 300 BLK (rifle and handgun uppers), 458 SOCOM and now the Legend. I was going to go 358 YETI but the price of that made the Legend an easy choice. Now maybe a Beowolf.......too much fun. I have the RCBS 250 -35 mould and will eventually try subsonic with that......This is the grown up version of a TC Contender/Encore with extra barrels. I npw need better optics for them all.

    Well I just had my first go round with 350 Legend in an AR.
    Loaded some Lee 358-200 with CFEBLK and some with Win 296.
    I was impressed with the velocities. Running 1800+ from a 16.5” barrel.

    However I couldn’t hit the target board ��

    My educated guess is that the alloy was too soft. Though it works well for my 357 magnum loads this is a little hotter round.

    So I’m going to use some richer alloy and water drop it. I did really like shooting it though. I think this will be my new favorite AR cartridge

    What alloy are you all using?

    I had loaded and fired 90gr Lehigh extreme penetrators. They were going 2980 fps with 29gr of w296 and had them up to 3200 fps.

    I haven’t shot any Powder Coated Cast out of my 350 as of yet but I did find that 27.5 grs of Lil’Gun in a Winchester Or Federal case set off by a Fed 205 primer, and topped with that Hornady 165 gr FTX is an amazing whitetail killer. At an average of 2389 fps for a MV it won’t shoot through a MO Whitetail inside of 100 yds. No need to worry about a blood trail either. They are laying right there, and the accuracy is SubMOA at 100 yds.

    Thats some impressive preformance for sure!!!

    I also like that 165 FTX best of the available bullets. I push it with 296, to 2350 and its hovers MOA.

    Took a deer with a MP 359-220 HP Pushed by Herco to 1450 fps. 50 yards thru both lungs and the heart before exiting in a large nickel sized exit. VERY LITTLE blood shot meat. Traveled 55/60 yards stopped and tipped onto his nose all inside of me.

    So how's about those 65gr hollow base Lehighs? 3500 fps? Maybe more?!?
