SEDALIA, MO – Starline Brass has added another rifle caliber, the .350 Legend to their growing line-up of high-quality rifle brass. Starline’s new .350 Legend rifle brass is produced with the same demanding quality control standards for which Starline has become known.

Introduced by Winchester and approved by SAAMI in January of 2019, the .350 Legend is a brand new cartridge that has no parent case. This tapered case has a rebated rim allowing it to utilize the standard .223 bolt face found on many common rifles including the AR-15. Like many other AR cartridges, the .350 Legend only requires changing the barrel and magazine. This cartridge’s allure is that it can be used for hunting in several states that allow straightwall rifle cartridges only, but doesn’t have near the recoil of other AR cartridges that fill this niche. Utilizing .355” diameter bullets, the .350 Legend is capable of impressive ballistics, without a lot of recoil. Read more

“The history of wildlife conservation in North America has been shaped by the choices sportsmen make to benefit wildlife and their habitats,” said Timothy C Brady, president of the Boone and Crockett Club. “Unfortunately for the sportsmen in California, legislators have made the decision about the use of lead even in areas of California where condors aren’t present.” Read more
