Federal initially launched its 350 Legend cartridge with two soft-point 180-grain options in its Power-Shok and Non-Typical lines. Now, Federal has expanded this lineup with the addition of a molecularly bonded Fusion load, in a lighter, 160-grain weight, shipments of which have begun arriving at dealers.

“The 350 Legend delivers superior ballistics and fast velocities for a straight-wall cartridge. It has become quite popular because it’s legal for hunting in many areas where bottleneck centerfire rifle cartridges are prohibited,” said Federal centerfire product manager Eric Miller. “Fusion is one of our most loved product lines because it offers best-in-class performance. Offering 350 Legend in our trusted Fusion lineup is something we know deer hunters will appreciate.”

The 350 Legend cartridge touts significantly less recoil than .450 Bushmaster yet more energy than .223 Remington, making it perfect for MSRs and bolt-action rifles alike. Fusion, meanwhile, boasts the largest expansion and highest weight retention in its class, for maximum energy delivery on target. For more information, please visit federalpremium.comMSRP: $28.99

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued?
