I'm thinking about buying a .350 Legend revolver and was wondering what people thought of this cartridge's longevity. Will it still be around years from now or is it another gimmick round to sell new guns. The ammo is relatively cheap and plentiful right now and I thought it would be a fun one to shoot out of a revolver and maybe hunt with because it would be a legit 150 yard gun. Sort of a modern day .357 Maximum but better ballistics. It would be problematic to reload for in a revolver because it's rimless so that's why I would want to shoot factory ammo. I just hate to buy one and in a couple of years not be able to get ammo for it because it's dead.
Who makes a 350 Legend revolver???
An Official Journal Of The NRA | Review: Magnum Research BFR 350 Legend
The single-action revolver may seem like a fixture from our shooting history’s past. Some may think of it as a 19th-century relic that’s kept in production only by nostalgia and enthusiasts who enjoy the Single Action Shooting Society’s weekend competitions.
These guys.
Here is something to think about.
You wish to get one and are going to use store ammo in it.
Worried 2 years from now the ammo may not be around.
I would be worried that the ammo is 2X as high and if my plans were to shoot factory ammo I would stock up now.
That way you will not run out and you can always sell that ammo if you decide you do not like the weapon.
Sell the ammo for the current market price in 2 years and you may put money in your pocket.
Like a bank account gaining interest but better.

Well since it's an AR round it might stay popular but I just don't know, I haven't run into anyone that owns one in an AR yet. I've had several BFRs over the years and there good. I just thought this would be pretty neat.
My thought is that it’s here to stay. Mostly due to northern deer hunters that deal with straight wall cartridge restrictions. I hear lots of people that like to use it for hogs too, and since it works with the AR platform, it’s got some extra sticking power when it comes to the market.
Kinda what I was thinking, being in an AR helps out a lot with popularity.
I do not see the appeal to this for anyone other than those who are living in states that require cartridges like that AND who want to hunt with a semi-auto there.
If I wanted a BFR, I would stick with the .45-70. You know that ammo will ALWAYS be available and it's easy to reload for. Load down to near .45ACP loads or up to near dangerous game loads....and anything in-between.

One guy I know has an AR in it and loves it for a pig brush gun, the ballistics for the round itself are pretty neat, and the availability and price are what have been drawing me to a new AR build for it
I've already got plenty of big bore stuff with tons of recoil I was just wanting something fun to shoot that is fairly cheap. I've been seeing FMJ loads at Academy for $16 a box.
I bought a few boxes of ammo with the intent of getting an upper. The 350 ammo is about all that is consistently on my nearest Walmart shelves. If I remember right, it shoots a .355 bullet so cheap 147gr 9mm boolits should work for plinking?
