Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The .350 Legend, also called 350 LGND (9×43mmRB), is a SAAMI-standardized[2] straight-walled intermediate rifle cartridge developed by Winchester Repeating Arms. The cartridge was designed for use in American states that have specific regulations for deer hunting with straight-walled centerfire cartridges.[3][4] At the cartridge's introduction, Winchester claimed that the .350 Legend was the fastest production straight-walled hunting cartridge in the world, although some .450 Bushmaster .444 Marlin and .458 Winchester Magnum loads are faster and have much more energy,[3][5] and the .350 Legend would be surpassed in 2023 by the .360 Buckhammer.[6] It is designed for deer hunting out to a maximum effective range of 250 yards (230 m).[4]
