Bullet Recommendations for 350 Legend

Hey guys. In the past few years i've developed arthritis in my dominant right. It's not as bad shooting suppressed guns so I decided to get a new barrel for my 308 Win Savage Striker handgun so I could fit it w/ a suppressor. While working on the gun recently, I was reminded that I have a second Striker handgun that I've never hunted w/. I bought it years ago for a project that subsequently fell through. I deer hunt in AR where they replaced the early muzzleloader season w/ an "Alternative Gun Season." Basically any straight walled cartridge qualifies for the special season. Last year I killed a doe w/ my 7.5" barrel Redhawk in 44 Mag, but was disappointed w/ bullet performance. So the thought crossed my mind while working on the Striker, "Why not get a 350 Legend barrel for the other Striker?" Well, I found a 16.5" ER Shaw barrel on sale and bought it. It should arrive in time for the early season, although it'll prob be close. All of this to ask what bullet do you recommend I handload. I'll not be shooting factory ammo. The "bullet failures" I've read of w/ the 350 Legend seem to be mainly Winchester factory ammo. I'm leaning to 170-180 grain bullets. Range should be inside 100 yards. Our deer are small, averaging 105# for does and 150# for bucks. I'm not adverse to flat/round nose bullet. I do not anticipate any subsonic loads. Personal experience w/ a bullet is highly valued. Whatcha got??

I’m loving my 350 Legend. So fun and easy on the shoulder to shoot. I bought it because I hunt both Arkansas and Louisiana, so I can use it in both states early season now like you mentioned. Not a handload and it’s irrelevant to your preference, but my CVA Scout actually loves factory Winchester Deer Season XP® 150 grain. That round is deadly in my gun. Leaves a nice hole all the way through, and deer never run far after being hit. That round is pretty easy to find on the shelf too. That’s just my personal preference. It’s never failed me. Happy Hunting, Baw!

My scout loves the Deer Season XP too. Tried 170gr Hornady and it threw them everywhere. I still want to try the Barnes Harvest because it shoots good in everything else I got. I’ve heard good things about Bear Creek copper bullets if you are strictly handloading

Look up maker bullets. They are absolutely devastating and if you call with any questions or concerns Mr Paul is more than helpful.

I’ve had plenty of success with the FTX in 44 mag and 45-70.

I can also recommend the Winchester Deer Season XP 150 grain. I know you said you won't shoot factory ammo, but I've had zero issues using these rounds on deer in the Texas hill country.
My first AR build in 2018 was a 350 Legend. It's really fun to shoot, and it's deadly on whitetail from that range. It's not suppressed but will be soon.
