Every bullet used in the data below was sized to 0.356″ from 0.358″ with an inexpensive Lee bullet sizing die, with the exception of Winchester factory bullets, which already measured 0.355″. Why? A very limited selection of 350 Legend specific bullets. Why size? Bullets close to 0.358″ expanded the case mouth enough to cause interference with bolt closing.
Warning: Bullet selections are specific, and loads are not valid with substitutions of different bullets of the same weight. Variations in bullet length will alter net case capacity, pressure and velocity. Primer selection is specific and primer types are not interchangeable. These are maximum loads in my firearms and may be excessive in others. All loads should be reduced by 5% as a starting point for development where cartridges have greater than 40 grains in capacity and 10% for cartridges with less than 40 grain capacity following safe handloading practices as represented in established mainstream reloading manuals. Presentation of these loads does not constitute a solicitation for their use, nor a recommendation.
