ANOKA, Minnesota – June 15, 2020 – The 350 Legend cartridge offers higher velocities than any straight-wall, deer-hunting cartridge. Federal initially launched the 350 Legend cartridge into its product catalog by offering two soft-point 180-grain options in its Power-Shok and Non-Typical lines. Now, Federal upgrades its product mix by adding a molecularly-bonded Fusion load in the lighter weight of 160 grains. Shipments of this product have begun to arrive at dealers.
“The 350 Legend delivers superior ballistics and fast velocities for a straight-wall cartridge. It has become quite popular because it’s legal for hunting in many areas where bottleneck centerfire rifle cartridges are prohibited,” said Federal Centerfire Product Manager Eric Miller. “Fusion is one of our most loved product lines because it offers best-in-class performance. Offering 350 Legend in our trusted Fusion lineup is something we know deer hunters will appreciate.”
The 350 Legend cartridge touts significantly less recoil than 450 Bushmaster and more energy than 223 Rem. It’s an ideal fit for compact, maneuverable MSRs and bolt-action rifles. It also delivers ample energy to take down any buck.
Fusion provides the largest expansion and highest weight retention in its class, making it the ideal choice for this modern straight-wall cartridge. With a molecularly-fused jacket and a pressure-formed core, Fusion transfers maximum energy on target with reliable, tag-filling accuracy.
Features:
• New 350 Legend 160-grain option
• Copper jacket is electro-chemically applied to its pressure-formed lead core
• Skived, pre-programmed nose provides consistent expansion
• Maximum weight retention for deep penetration
• Quality components and excellent accuracy

Show me the jell shots @100 and @200 yds, and then I’ll believe it.
Took 2 9pt bucks last season here in lower Michigan. A 150 lbs on opening day with their 180gr Whitetail hunter. He took a step as the shot broke breaking his spine just above his lungs. Tried to crawl off, a 2nd shot to his neck at the same yardage solved his problem Entrance and exit holes were the same size. A pass through with no expansion.
5 days later I took a record book 175 lbs 9 pt that scored 157.0 gross, 149 5/8 net. 45yds shot to the base of his neck. DRT. I walked up and saw the blood running out the exit hole. Just nicked the spine and severed the jugular in 2. Again no expansion. Another pass through.
I would like someone to produce some factory load ammo that actually works with proper expansion. That be nice.
