Anyone have experience with either of these? Is either one much better than the other for hunting deer?

No experience with the 350, but the 450 will drop one DRT.

I’m 1/1 with the Legend and it was bang, flop. Unless going after something larger than deer, I’d pick the Legend. Simply due to ammo availability. At time during the past year it was the only rifle ammo on the shelf in some stores
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

I've got both the 450 is a Ruger American the 350 is AR platform. The 450 certainly has more shock and awe. The 350 I was skeptical about but got for my son as a hog gun. I have been shocked by the effectiveness of the .350 Legend. Bang flopped several large boars with it in excess of 200lbs. Now I'm carrying it in the tractor, LOL! Impressed the hellouta me I have to admit.

350 has little to no recoil, quiet and is a hammer on game. It’s got my vote I wouldn't call it quiet by any stretch or at least mine ain't with a 16.3 in barrel

I have the Legend and built my buddy a 450. They both kill deer very well. I’ve grown quite fond of the Legend. I find myself carrying it more and more. I shoot the Winchester 180gr sp and everything I killed dropped right there. Probably the only reason I’d take the Legend over the 450 would be the weight. That big barrel is heavy.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.
