EAST ALTON, IL (April 13, 2023) — From the leader in ammunition innovation, Winchester introduces the 400 Legend, a new straight-walled cartridge with superior ballistics for both hunters and sport shooters. The 400 Legend ballistics make it an optimum choice for any hunter that 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 optimum for deer, pig, black bear, and other big game with significant advantages in ballistics performance, recoil and penetration.
400 Legend Features & Benefits—
- Similar Energy as 450 Bushmaster with 20% Less Recoil
- Over 20% More Energy than the 30-30 Winchester and 25% More Energy than 350 Legend, with Greater Penetration
- 100% More Energy than a 12-Gauge Slug at 100 Yards
- 55% Less Recoil than a 12-Gauge Slug
