This is my first year on a new piece of ground I picked up in Ohio. Spent a few weeks last week up there with my bow in the snow and the place is a zoo. Had a great encounter with what would have been my biggest archery buck, but wasnt able to get a shot. They have recently just allowed "straight walled" cartridges up there, as well as several other states. I did my research and kept coming back to the .350 legend. The main reason was that I was attracted to the round was the low recoil, my daughters like to hunt. Due to the season being so short, I didnt want to spend much money, so I ended up ordering a mossberg bantam patriot rifle. I found a box of Federal Soft soft points in 180 grain at BPS, but wanted to check and see if any of you guys have any advice on ammo choice before I start buying a boxes of different weights. I want to try the 160 & 170 grain options. Any suggestions? Or, anyone have any advice or experiences with these cheap little guns? Thanks!
.350 legend?

There is a thread here somewhere with some info. I shoot the 150 grain Deer season XP out of a Bear Creek AR. Groups about an 1 inch at 100. I've killed a lot of hogs with it but no deer yet.

Yes I started one a few days ago here n there is good info on it..
My Uncle recently picked up a Ruger Ranch in it. The issue had been finding ammo for it. Find a box or Power Points N the Target loads..He said the target load sucked. but the Power Points were good . Good for him is bug holes. However this was at 50yards
Myself Federal shows a Fushion Load n Winchester shows a Power Max Bonded Midway had em up but not in stock last I checked. Those 2 are of interest to me as is the Deer Season Found 2 boxes them today.
Hornady has an FTX n Interlock.. seen the.
Point you like him might have to settle for what you can find instock.. n play later..
Good Luck n Hope you like it..
I believe its gonna be around awhile n maybe get all the gun writers off the Crudmore no offense good round just tired of it.

FWIW, cheaper than dirt has several options in stock. The FMJ's, Hornady Interlocks, Deer Season XP, Powerpoints, and Federal Nontypical.

So I picked up my Mossberg patriot bantam in .350 legend Friday night on my way to KY. Mounted an old leupold VX-1 3-9x40 using the weaver low 1" rings. Sunday before I left camp I did the ole boresight at 50. took 3 shots to get on the bulls. Moved out to 100 yards and was mind blown! I stacked 3 shots on top of each other. I had bought 3 boxes of bullets Federal 180 grain SP, Hornady 170 grain BTSP, and the wichester extreme point 150 grains. The only box I opened and shot was the winchesters and I am stoked and ready for the Ohio gun season!! The patriot rifle is what you would expect for a $300 gun. cheap plastic magazine and stock. But I was not expecting accuracy like that from that little gun. I heard the recoil was light but man it is almost non existent. I think we have ended up with another rifle for my kids to shoot.

Well, it got the job done. 30 minutes after day break this old fighter was slipping down a bench about 100 yards below me. The bullet struck exactly where I wanted high behind the shoulder, exited low behind the other. He ran about 30 yards off the bench looked around and flopped. 150 grain winchester XP. I cant get the lack of recoil. Always nice to be able to keep the animal in the scope post shot.

Congrats! Looks like you had a better result with penetration than I did. Maybe mine was a one-off.
