Quick Answer
Yes, you can reload .350 Legend brass for cost savings, but you need to choose the right brass and follow proper reloading procedures to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Choosing the Right Brass
The .350 Legend cartridge is based on the .223 Remington case, so you can use .223 Remington brass as a substitute. However, you’ll need to trim the brass to the correct length for the .350 Legend cartridge. This typically involves trimming the case to 1.725 inches. You can also use .350 Legend brass specifically designed for reloading, but it may be more expensive.
Reloading Techniques
To reload .350 Legend brass, you’ll need to follow standard reloading procedures for the .223 Remington case. This includes loading the correct amount of powder and bullet weight, as well as seating the bullet at the correct depth. A good starting point for load development is to use a 150-grain bullet with 30-32 grains of IMR 4166 or a similar powder. The maximum load for the .350 Legend cartridge is typically around 35 grains of powder, depending on the specific load and equipment.
Safety Precautions
When reloading .350 Legend brass, it’s essential to follow proper safety procedures to avoid injuries and damage to your equipment. This includes properly handling and storing the brass, as well as following the manufacturer’s instructions for the reloading equipment and powder.
