Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of the .350 Legend cartridge for hunting?

The .350 Legend is advantageous for hunting because it meets 'straight-wall' cartridge requirements in states like Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. It offers more power than 5.56, has lower recoil than many hunting rounds, and is generally more affordable than larger calibers like .450 Bushmaster.

Do standard AR-15 magazines work with the .350 Legend?

Standard 5.56 AR-15 magazines require modification to reliably feed .350 Legend rounds. The front rib of the magazine typically needs to be ground down to accommodate the straight-walled case.

What is the estimated price of the CMMG Resolute rifle?

The CMMG Resolute rifle, as reviewed with a Leupold scope and Burris mount, has an estimated Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) ranging from $1,200 to $1,300.

How does the .350 Legend compare to 5.56 NATO?

The .350 Legend uses a case similar in size to 5.56 NATO but fires a larger .35 caliber bullet. This results in significantly more terminal energy and 'thump' downrange compared to the 5.56, making it more suitable for medium-sized game.
