S&W M350 7-shot revolver caliber .350 Legend

[26Charlie]

I just read Terry Wieland's article on this gun in the latest Handloader (#350). It uses 7-shot moon clips. Headspaces on the mouth of the cartridge case. It uses the big X frame like the .500 and .460 mag.
Is this going to be another rare gun, like the .22 Jet? Because it does not work very well?
Terry is not happy with it.

Ain't gonna lie, it sounds silly and I'd take a long gun or a .44 magnum before I screwed around with that.

I have not read the article, but I don't forsee them becoming common.

Plan on it being available for only 2 or so years!

I was kind of interested in one until reading about how it’s only marginally more powerful than a .44 Mag. The 350 Legend losses its luster out of a shorter barrel.

Main thing I don’t like is the price tag. Next is factory rounds use 0.355” bullets instead of 0.357”

Weren’t the maximum revolvers discontinued because of all the commotion about top strap cutting? Isn’t this cartridge longer and hold a little more of the same powder? How is it okay now but not back then?

Headspaces on the case mouth. Don’t revolvers usually get a roll crimp to prevent bullet pulling from recoil? 30 Carbine works, but it’s a little less recoil.

I’ll wait for the 360 Buckhammer revolvers to come out. They got the bullet diameter correct and have a proper rim.

This is yet another silly attempt to make "something different" that not one person in 10,000 has any use for. A huge revolver only suitable for hunting, and offering little to no advantages over older, established cartridges? Boy, sign me up for one of those. It'll pair perfectly with my 30 super. I'm sure they'll be flying off the shelves.

Maybe a future collector’s item ?
