Features

It offers more authority than the 350 Legend while providing better manners than the 450 Bushmaster.

Performance

The 400 Legend spits a 40-caliber bullet, specifically the 215-grain Power Point load. This load is rated at 2,250 fps from a 20-inch barrel, generating 2,416 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. This energy is roughly 400 ft-lbs more than a 170-grain 30-30 bullet. The 215-grain Power Point bullet has a ballistic coefficient (B.C.) of .206, which means it still retains 1,134 ft-lbs of energy at 200 yards, better than a 170-grain 30-30 bullet at the same range.

Comparisons

• Trajectory: When zeroed for a maximum ordinate (peak trajectory height) of 3 inches above point of aim at 100 yards, the 400 Legend will drop 2.55 inches at 200 yards, similar to the 30-30 Winchester.
• Wind Deflection: In a 10 mph right-angle wind, the 215-grain 400 Legend will be deflected 9.97 inches, about an inch and a half more than the 170-grain 30-30 Winchester.

Recoil

• Recoil: The recoil with this load in a 7-pound rifle should be about 17.3 ft-lbs.

Versatility

• Compatibility: The 400 Legend is compatible with both bolt-action and AR-platform semi-automatic rifles.
• Silencer Compatibility: A 300-grain subsonic round, dubbed the "Super Suppressed," is available for shooting with the aid of a silencer.
