Anyone find a 350 cartridge they really like? I've been on 6 hunts with deer shot with a 350 and there has been very little, and in most cases zero, blood. Maybe there are not any great options. Great round for kids, but man do blood trails SUCK.

Have you looked at bear creek ammo? Custom stuff but good ammo!

It is going to be a good fall!
I’ve used Bear Creek Ballistics. Both deer I’ve shot died within 30 yds.

I’ll 2nd and 3rd bear creek. One I shot wasn’t a blood bath by any means, but easily trackable. The other one I shot went a few steps so can’t speak to the blood trail. Love the accuracy of them more than anything. I had a group touching at 100 out of a 16” AR. They seem to be less prone to misfeeds as well.

Barnes makes a pretty bad ass hollow-point for the .350 legend. Usually down in sight with solid blood, but like any small caliber there is risk/reward.

Saw some Barnes in Fleet Farm yesterday I almost bit the bullet on but I've had good luck with 180grain soft point Federals? Blood trails are decent I thought, nothing crazy but easy to follow when double lunged.

My wife shot two deer with Bear Creek 160 gr and we had zero blood. The ammo shoots great but no trail. A buddy of mine who’s an outfitter suggests to clients shooting the 350 to use Barnes Vor TX 170 gr ammo. That’s what I switched to.

Second this - blood isn’t pumping out but both deer my boy shot down in sight with easy to follow blood trails
