EAST ALTON, IL — From the leader in ammunition innovation, Winchester introduces the 400 Legend, a new straight-walled cartridge with superior ballistics for both hunters and sport shooters. The 400 Legend ballistics make it an optimum choice for any hunter that wants a cartridge with moderate recoil and excellent terminal performance, particularly in hunting situations within 300 yards.
The straight-walled design of the 400 Legend qualifies it for use in several states that restrict bottle-necked cartridges for hunting. This heavy-hitting cartridge is optimum for deer, pig, black bear, and other big game with significant advantages in ballistics performance, recoil and penetration.
