400 Legend: Field Testing Winchester's New Straightwall Cartridge

Winchester announced the 400 Legend, a hard-hitting straightwall cartridge that's a step up from the 350 Legend.

Good comparison between the .350, .400, and .450.

 

360 Buckhammer or 45 70..

 

A 458 Winchester Magnum is straight wall and accepted as adequate for hunting anything anywhere. Go big or go home. LOL

 

Yes, Great Cartage, But can your wife, Daughter or Grandkids shoot it ?
Thanks 👍

 

Not certain I would want to.

 

Love my 450 BM. Although it’s an AR so I guess I’ll have to buy one in bolt action

 

I’m ordering a Ruger predator compact in 350 legend.

It’s for the kids.

Will you get me one ? 😂😔😆👍

 

Ima be getting me sumpn soon as well.

 

These are silly questions and answers. The answer is 360 BuckHammer. There’s a lot of ballistics and such that make it that way. 45 is still waaaaaaay to big to be shooting a deer without a really good reason, pistol rounds suck, case heads can only be so small without being a completely new cartridge family, nothing smaller than 30cal, blah blah blah etc etc etc. the answer currently is 360 BuckHammer and there really isn’t a close second. The 350 L is way back there somewhere in second probably.

 

i think I’m going with the .400 Legend, better performance than the .360 Buckhammer especially past 200 yards.

 

Going with my Straight wall 30 06.. 😂👏😆

 

I wouldn't mind having an 1895 Winchester in 405 Winchester. I just don't want to spend a bunch. I will probably continue with the ML.

 

Buckhammer hasn’t been around long enough to get established. Will you be able to find ammo in 5-10 years? Think SAUM’s, WSSM’s, WSM’s, etc. can’t hardly find ammo for them and if you do they are $$$.

The 350 and 450 have been going for years and are well established rounds.

 

A lot of that popularity has to go hand in hand with the popularity of the MSR platform. The 360 just has too many things going for it with the way most straight wall regs are written, and the design being 30-30 based. They really screwed up with the inability to rechamber 30-30’s, but that might be a safety issue with the fore thought of making high pressure loads for 360 that would blow up old 30-30’s. I see this round having some serious staying power after it’s gets some more exposure.

 

Is a 12 ga. slug a straight wall cartridge?

 

Yes/ No/ maybe.let us know when you get a Ticket.. 😂😆

 

We plan to have the 360 Buckhammer Core Lokt Tipped loads here in a few months.

 

Can u talk Ruger into making a rifle?

 

Just wait. Someone will introduce a new cartridge that everyone will just have to get.

I’ll just stay with my 444 that debuted 1964 and hand-loads if I decide I want to shoot a modern file for an “alternative” firearm.

 

I would lean towards the .450 simply because I am already casting bullets that would work fantastically. Having a .450 lever gun built would be incredible. Think of it like a .45-70 special.

 

Getting worked up about the capabilities of sub 200 yard straight wall cartridges... typical kmo

 

While I think there's no point to a straight wall cartridge season in Arkansas, I'll carry the 45/70. It'll make zero difference to the herd if it accounts for a deer in October or November. I got some Fort Scott rounds that are supposed to tumble on impact. That'll be interesting to see

 

Finally someone with real bonafide common sense and critical thinking skills. PREACH

 

That’s not what the ballistics charts say

Don’t bother KMo with facts. .360 BH, bygod! Personally, I think it’s a fine time for the rebirth of the .401 Winchester.

 

Did Hornady say the 165 Lever Evolutions are coming out?

 

They already make the bullet, but they haven’t announced the full cartridge yet. Prolly still mad at Henry for teaming up with Rem instead of them to introduce the 360 Creedmoor….🤣

 

Hornady Black .350 Legend 150 Gr. Interlock Spire Point-

 

Damn, I hate to admit K-Mo is right

 

You really don't have to admit that. This is the 30 caliber debate or 9mm vs 40 cal vs 10mm vs etc
It would be an interesting conversation if it weren't for the fan boys

 

Yes, I know about the bullet. I load for a lot of cartridges already, I don't want to load for this one I don't think.
I will look at this round seriously if that ammo is offered.

 

180 Speer would be a great bullet also. Be super easy to load for also. Trim it and send it

 

 

Love everything about this except for that damn protruding magazine. Do they make a flush-ish fit mag? If so, how many rounds?

 

Some of yall acting like you gonna hit the target.
