Winchester Ammunition 400 Legend

Winchester is introducing the 400 Legend, a new straight-walled cartridge that boasts superior ballistics for both hunters and sport shooters. The 400 Legend ballistics make it a good choice for any hunter who wants a cartridge with moderate recoil and excellent terminal performance, particularly in hunting situations within 300 yards.

The straight-walled design of the 400 Legend qualifies it for use in several states that restrict bottle-necked cartridges for hunting. This heavy-hitting cartridge is a good choice for deer, pig, black bear, and other big game with significant advantages in ballistics performance, recoil, and penetration.

The 400 Legend delivers energy similar to that of the 450 Bushmaster, but with 20 percent less recoil. It also offers 20 percent more energy than the .30-30 Winchester and 25 percent more energy than the 350 Legend, with greater penetration. Hunters used to the shoulder-pounding generated by 12-gauge slugs will find that the 400 Legend delivers 100 percent more energy, but with 55 percent less recoil. (winchester.com)
