350 and 400 legend 10.5” barrel (savage 110 pcs)

[Jeremyvmd09]

So I’m looking at building up a savage 110 pcs in either of those calibers as a shorter range (sub 150 yard) deer rifle. I do reload already for a ton of stuff however would like the option of using factory ammo for this pistol. Which would I be better off with? Anyone know the velocities of any of the factory loadings in 350 of 400 in the 10.5 barrels? I’ve done a ton of searching and haven’t really found much info, there was one video I found but I would like other input. The 400 I know will thump better but at a bit more recoil which probably won’t be fun with a brace rather than a stock.

To better show the slot im trying to fill, my current hunting rifle lineup is:
336 rebored to 38-55
336 in 35 safari grade
Winchester 53 takedown 25-20
Several 45-70s
Sauer 100 in 6.5 prc

Really looking for a super compact, easy to pack sub 150 yard, light recoiling, strait wall gun for deer and slight possibility of black bear….

Try putting some numbers in a ballistic calculator. Both of those drop pretty fast once they get past 200 yards with a 20 inch barrel. At 10.5 inches you may not even be fast enough for bullet expansion at 150 yards. You may be able to compare 44 magnum velocity from a 10 inch barrel vs the velocity from a rifle barrel to get you in the ballpark of what velocity you may expect. Good luck. Sounds like a handy woods gun if it works out.

There are way more factory options in 350 legend.

400 only has 2-3 options
