It's not magic, nor a new idea. The .35 Remington has always been a humble sure killer on anything reasonable folks use it on. The .350 is basically the same thing, just stepping back a bit farther (less velocity). Actually it's in between the old .351 WSL and the .35 Remington. As many say it's a rimless .357 Maximum, actually a bit more, but close.
Since straight walled cases are required in several states I think it will have a great following. I WANT a Ruger American in .350 but found some AR barrels for as low as $110, which is all it takes, plus a $20 magazine to convert any AR-5.56 into .350.
I had an old 336 Marlin in .35 Remington that I really liked. My 200 gr. Hornady SP ran right at 1950 fps and mushroomed just like the old magazines advertised. At 100 steps, I could put 3-shots in a 1 inch triangle on demand using an equally ancient Weaver K6 with post and crosshair. I've never fired a 150 gr. .35 Remington but it has it's following. I just always shot the 200 gr. Hornady or Serria .357 JHC pistol bullets playing. It was no cannon, but a humble tool that would do the job.
