Buddy just purchased a .223 rifle and has been getting a lot of noise on his phone about 350 Legend and asked me about it.
I told him some states only allow a straight wall cartridge in certain areas and it is some new hyped up round not needed here in Oklahoma.
I did some research on people that do use them in the states that they are beneficial in and found this.
Good reading if you have time to read all the posts and not scroll through.
It will not take 10 minutes to read it all.

One thing I noticed with this reading on that link about the 350 legend was 90% of the deer these slow rounds hit the deer runs away.
That tells me the shock trauma is not there.
There are a few that drop in their tracks but most go 40-60 yards or more.
60 yards in thick brush in Oklahoma could mean you may not find your deer.
Some of these did not leave a blood trail until they ran a little way and some did not leave any blood trail.
So counting on a big hole to pour blood is not something to rely on.
Enjoy the reading.
