Reloading the 350 Legend

Joe, at Real Guns, has some loading data that he developed for the 350 Legend. He had to resize most of the bullets he used using a Lee bullet sizing die. Not surprisingly, he used slow pistol powders with good results. Lee has the dies, and Williams Shooters Supply just received a bunch of new WW 350 brass in 100 count bags. Bob!

Looks like a lot of screwing around for reloading. Was thinking of getting something in 350. Have a ton of lighter 358 bullets. Got enough other "projects" don't need another. Was hoping this cartridge was going to be bit more forgiving with bullet diameter.

Yes, it looks like the 147 grain 9mm bullet might be the best for a plinking/training load with no sizing needed and real close to the 145 factory load. Of course, the low cost of the white box factory ammo off sets the costs of reloading. Hopefully, WW will release some appropriate bullets soon now that brass is available. Bob!

Unfortunately it looks like the rifle bullets with OK bc of 0.3+ are too long to be loaded due to the short COL required by the AR and specified in SAAMI as 2.260 max. So we are stuck with the pistol bullets with bc of <0.21, mostly ~0.1+ bc. So unless we are loading for a bolt action, single shot, or revolver we are stuck with <~180gr bullets.
