Thoughts on 350 legend ammunition?

[rem.ostrem]

I've used the Winchester 150gr deer season rounds for 3 years now. Last year I went 3 shots for 3 deer and every one of them dropped in it's place. The year before that I shot a doe and through my own error had a bad shot placement that broke her leg instead of hitting the vitals. Had a very good blood trail for 100yd where I was able to put a follow up shot into her. All shot out of 2 different Ruger American rifles with 16in barrels.

Legit Q, anyone pushing their 350L out to 200 yds, or should I stick with 150yds max?

On my spot, a couple stands overlook fields and was wondering how far to legitimately push the 350L?

I'm old school and looking at the 1000 ft/lbs mark and most dont have 1000 ft/lbs at 200.

But it is hard to really believe some of these numbers because they'll shoot them out of 22" barrels, instead of more real world 16".

So if shooting out to 200yds, what ammo?

Im considering:

Fed Fusion 160g
Winchester XP 150g
Nosler 180 g
Underwood Barnes TSX 170g
Bear Creek pointed 140g
Browning 150g MaxPt
Hornady custom 165 FXT

Every manufacturer has a different speed threshold for expansion. I would call and ask then find out what yardage your barrel drops below it. Personally I wouldn't shoot past about 75-100 fps per faster than manufacture lowest recommended speed.
