Launched by Winchester in 2023, the 400 Legend follows on as another straight walled cartridge like its predecessor the 350 Legend. It is supposed to fill the gap between the 350 Legend and the 450 Bushmaster. The Bushmaster has a reputation for a bit of excessive recoil and the 350 Legend, based on the 223 Rem case provided a much milder mannered application to both bolt action rifles as well as the AR platform, but ballistics tend to be a bit lacking. The 400 Legend is there to address that with a hard hitting cartridge with less recoil.
