    Kinda looks like a .357herrett that got stuck in a taffy puller

    Just realized, this should meet "straight wall cartridge" requirements imposed in some states, and in some ways makes more sense than the .355 bullet specs used in the .350 legend.

    The 35 /30-30 has been around for a long time. States will probably approve it for straight wall where they would never consider a 35 Bullberry.

    I agree about the .355’s. Its interesting in some ways. .358 bullet selections may increase for the Max. A 30/30 based cartridge makes sense. Lever gun popularity seems to be on the increase.

    I happen to have an extra MGM barrel in .357 mag, might make a good rechamber
    It's better to shoot for the moon and hit the fencepost than to shoot for the fencepost and hit the ground!

    Does this do anything that the 35 Remington can't? There's some "cool factor", the rimmed cartridge would be great for Contender fans and there's some advantage for those in some states but is this just going to be another niche chambering for which ammo is never in stock anywhere? I'm not seeing reloading dies available anywhere. The 350 Legend may be at a disadvantage ballistically and, yeah, the choice of .355 caliber seems ill considered, but that ammo is all over the place. If there's a distinct advantage to chamberings developed for the AR platform, it's ammo support and coverage, at least for as long as the round is popular with the black rifle demographic. If I lived in a "straight-wall" state, I think I'd set up a 350 legend and never look back. :)

    No, I do not. I saw this posted elsewhere today. The article is in Guns & Ammo, and I let my subscription end a couple months ago, so I haven’t seen all of the info.
