I purchased a Ruger Ranch .350 Legend for my 11 year old and he loves it. It's got Vortex 3-9x40 glass. I have Winchester 180gr Power Point and Hornady 165 FTX. So far the Hornady is sub MOA @ 100 (7/8th) and the Winchester is giving me 1.5" groups @ 100. I couldn't be happier. Well, talking to my friend the other day, he advised against the FTX due to poor performance on deer. I wanted my son to drop his first deer DRT with his new rifle. I knew his shot would be 50-70 yards max at a spot so I loaded the Power Points and a high shoulder shot dropped that deer where he stood.
I'm taking the rifle to Maryland for their opener and want to bring the FTX because it's very possible I will have a 150 yard shot and the area I hunt is swamp edge. I'm very impressed with this set up and very new to the .350 and just want some input from experienced shooters of this round.
