I guess all my speculations could have been solved with a simple email.
I know its all mute at this point now, but given the number of guys I have seen on the internet that have measured factory 350 Legend bullets at .355, and the Winchester rep at the NRA show saying it was 9mm and a few other article talking about Winchester using 9mm bullet making equipment, SAAMI minimum bore area being identical to 9x19mm etc... there is just enough evidence that if you were one of those "conspiracy-theory" types that you might conjecture that Winchester designed the cartridge as a 9mm cartridge, and only after it was done did someone realized that a 9mm cartridge would not be legal in Ohio, a state that is likely a major target audience for the new cartridge, and post development simply started saying it was .357 caliber to avoid the problem. But that might just be the voices in my head talking crazy talk.
ANYWAY... seems like it will be legal in Ohio, load-up and blast away, sorry for wasting your time...

I was writing to inquire if the new Winchester 350 Legend cartridge will be legal for deer hunting in Ohio?
Thanks

Short and to the point, that quote was ODRN's entire email response withholding only the signature of the person that sent it.ODNR to mcb said:This is legal.
