But hey, marketing gets your wallet.

Do some of you blokes even read before posting?
So, not an attempt at re-hashing the .375 Win. ( Which, as well as the .30-30 Win, is based on the .38-55 case, which has been around since 1884.)
Like Wrenchman says, directed at the U.S AR-15 platform market to get around certain states deer hunting laws that don't allow .223 rem.
Quick barrel change and you're in business.
Don't reckon it will ever be chambered in a lever-gun, pointed bullets and rimless case.
Plenty of cartridges in the + .30 cal that can beat the .30-30 for down-range energy already available in lever guns anyway. ( .38-55, .375 Win, .307 Win, .356 Win, .35 Rem, .308 Marlin express, .338 Marlin Express.........., the list goes on.)

A 200gr load in the .375 Win has a MV = 2480 and ME of 2731 and down range @ 200yds retains a V = 1702 and E = 1287
Tell me again how they are similar. I know which one I'd prefer for poking holes in game in scrub.
P.S. The .35 Rem is also a rimless case and has basically the same ballistics as those advertised for this 350 Legend.
Don't get me wrong, it would be a great little round. As with all cases based on the .222 Rem .375" base diameter case, they are efficient and tend to work well.

It was about to form a one world gov and take over the world but it couldn't handle the pressure.....

Yeap got a bag of 357 maximum brass too, and the WSSM made fine donor action for some wicked big bores..... but Im not sure you can compare the 2. The WSSM were poorly done, mostly by winchester. Pretty hard to f*** up a necked up 223 case with only mild velocities.

Seen a 458wssm wildcat that very nearly matches 458wm....must admit,that tickles my fancy just a bit....
