Again, once things quit snowing/warm up a tad, I run this one out to 200.

Yep. I have cleanly killed Deer with my long range match rifle at every 100 yards out to 1000. BUT, the vast majority of my Deer have been taking inside 150 yards with handguns, archery, black powder, and lever actions. I've had Deer step over my legs and had to wait until they got about 100 yards away to move so I would not spook them.All the hemming and hawing over the round being a 200 yard deer round, why? The vast majority of deer are killed inside of that. In fact where I hunt 150 yards of open enough to shoot is a rare occurrence. I have used my AR in 350 legend for gun chores and deer hunting last fall and this spring. It's a pretty solid gun when it comes to feral hogs at night. Might be a bit much for killing hogs in traps. After loading and shooting some 400 rounds I like the round. Don't see a downside in any way.
I have always wanted a 41 Magnum in a Ruger Super Blackhawk. How hard are the bullets, brass and dies to find?Yep.

Frankly, I prefer to use my .41 Magnum, .414 SuperMag and .35 Remington for deer.
Tell me what you think ...350 Legend hunting rifle
Starline makes brass for the .41 mag and it’s available fairly regularly. You can get Lee dies anytime from Titan, and for crimping you can request a custom collet crimp die from them for a pretty reasonable price.I have always wanted a 41 Magnum in a Ruger Super Blackhawk.

EDIT - Never mind Mark, answered my own question. Available and inexpensive. I said I don't need another...but.
An there you go tempting me. I was looking at prices last night. New Blackhawk in 41 runs about mid-$700. Not a Super Blackhawk. I have other projects and things I am doing, but keeping it on my radar.I have a regular new model blackhawk in 41 mag--I remember when I went through my 41 mag infatuation period many years ago even then the super blackhawks in 41 mag were very hard to find and usually done in periodic small batch releases. Be prepared to spend boocoo bucks to get one. handloading for it, like 44 mag, is very easy.
I had a 44 in AK with wood grips. Not much fun to shoot and for the purpose I bought it for, might was well try to beat a bear with the butt. I always wanted to try the 41. I had a 357 Blackhawk when I was younger and loved it. 41 is good middle ground.A Super Blackhawk is what ignited my love of the .41 Magnum.
This was my first .41 mag, I traded it in on my 6” Model 57 no dash and still have it today after 38 years. I’ve also added a 4” model 57 and a Henry BBS.An there you go tempting me.

Sorry for the rabbit trail. Mark mentioned 41 Magnum for hunting.If you are talking about a Ruger Blachawk new model I don't think the mechanism is complicated. And, EVERY gun has to go together "just right" now doesn't it??
Either way, until someone chambers a Blackhawk in .350 Legend, its off topic in this thread.
It all depends on whether you believe a 180gr 357Mag chest-shot"do you want something barely adequate or do you want something capable"?
