400 legend

I was finally able to shoot my 400 L a few times today. It's a Savage Trail Hunter with an XRS chassis. I wasn't thrilled with the factory stock. I shot the factory 215 gr ammo for break in and then shot both the 215 gr and 190 gr for groups at 100 yds. This was done off of a bench at my local range. I was going to only shoot 3 shot groups, but I ended up pulling one shot with each bullet, so I shot another to make up for my mistake. To my surprise, the gun shot both bullets identically except for a slight difference in placement of the groups. I'll strech it out to 200 yds next week to see if one shows better.

A great bullet to load is Cutting Edge Bullets 165gr Maximus I have been using it for over 8 years in my 400 x 1.8".......

.400 165gr Rifle Maximus-50ct

40cal 165gr solid copper, lead-free hunting bullet. This truly unique line of bullets combines high BC and massive terminal performance for ultimate take-down power. After 4-6” of penetration, 4-8 blades break off and create one large, massive wound channel.

400 Legend would be a good cartridge if they would have made it 1.8" it would have been much better and and still worked in a AR platform plus give bolt action users a little more room for powder....
