New SAAMI Accepted Cartridge: 400 Legend !? -
SAAMI have published cartridge and chamber drawings of a not yet announced cartridge called 400 Legend (400 LGND). Let's take a look.

This is supposedly another cartridge designed for states that only allow straight wall cartridges. I didn’t know how many states that is, so in my limited research, it appears to be only four…Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio.
These ammo companies seem to be going to a lot of “trouble“ to satisfy the requirements of these four states, but I guess when all you’re doing is reinventing the wheel and remarketing it, it’s not that much trouble.

I will be interested when they get to 458 Legend. Something like a 325gr FTX at around 2050fps. That would get the job done.
Oh wait....
Oh wait....
So they have a 350 Legend, that isn't really all that great, but will get the job done, that is hard to find re-loading bullets for
& now they come up with 400 Legend.
Will it be hard to find bullets for this one too?
Will there even be a market for this, other than in those states that only will let you hunt with a straight wall cartridge?

450 Marlin
458 Socom450 Marlin
Oh yeah! There’s tons of suckers in the hunting/shooting community that can’t pass up an opportunity to try out the last and greatest.
Anyone have any insight as to why you would only allow a straight walled cartridge?
No, but I believe those are states that used to only allow slugs.
Gotcha.
