Thoughts on 350 legend ammunition?

Killed a few with my fathers 22” Ruger American using 180gr winchesters, all have fell sub 60 and had ok to good blood trails.

This is my first year hunting with my 350L AR build. Running 170gr American whitetail. Two does so far, one dropped instantly (my son was thrilled). Second was hard quartering to at 50yds, through chest cavity and out. Not a big exit hole but never hit any bone besides clipping a rib on way out. Plenty of blood, 40yd track.

Next year I look forward to mixing it up. I really wanna try the Bear creek 140 coppers as long as they feed good. Sounds like guys have been having good luck with them! Glad I stumbled onto this post. Good luck to everyone test of the season!

When I used one I shot 3 deer with the 150gr Deer Season XP. Very accurate, VERY fast expansion/fragmentation, very poor penetration through muscle and bone. Shoot lungs/heart only and you'll be great, but if you try angled shots or shooting through the shoulder or brisket, you will regret it.

If I were to do it again, I'd do the 140gr Bear Creek ammo or 160gr Cutting Edge Raptor ammo from Choice Ammunition
