Winchester’s 350 Legend cartridge wins the Guns&Ammo 2019 Ammo of the Year Award.
The Winchester 350 Legend is taking down whitetail deer and wild hogs all over the country in a very impressive manner. Hunters love the cartridge’s accuracy, light recoil and hard-hitting performance, all of which are delivered at a very affordable price per round.
