Does anybody use the 350 legend or the 357 max suppressed for deer? I have a woods next to my horse lot that holds a lot of deer at times, any rifle that I use in there needs to be 'pellet gun' quiet. Horses can be very spooky of loud noises. I plan to buy a suppressor, and I assume that my ammo should be subsonic to keep things quiet. The gun will be a bolt action or a single shot. I would probably use 200-250 gr bullets if I go subsonic. If you got this far, thanks.

I don't think you are going to find a 200+ grain bullet for 350 legend. Don't know about 357 max.
Hornady sells their 357 250gr Sub-X projectiles 357 Sub-X which I assume is the pill in their 350 Legend Subsonic offering. IIRC they offer a softpoint too but it might be too long?
You actually sent me down a rabbit hole I didn't realize Winchester had a 255grain hollowpoint subsonic option too. Though I dont' seem to see those for sale as components.

I know this isn't exactly your question, but if you're really trying to get as quiet as possible and you're looking at 100 yards in, I would probably tend toward 300BLK instead. I haven't shot 350 Legend suppressed, but have to think 300BLK would be a bit quieter and you can still take a deer at short-ish range with it. I have a bolt action Ruger American Ranch in 300BLK that was very reasonably priced and is very quiet. I use 220 grain subsonics in it.
There's also actual pellet gun options - Airforce Texan with a DonnyFL Emperor with bonus of no waiting times.

I knew there were some larger pellet guns, but hadn’t seen something this powerful or with suppressors before! Of course, that’s more expensive than most of my rifles, but still pretty cool!
Winchester does sell a Super Suppressed Version in .350 Legend.

They actually advertise this as range ammo, I cannot speak to how it would do on deer. It probably wouldn't expand just because of the lack of velocity. The Hornady ammo may be better option or rolling your own would probably be the best option.

Have you shot around your horses?
My range runs parallel to my pasture. I’ve shot everything from 22lr to 30-06 near the horses. Barely got them to raise their heads. One shot from a suppressed 22lr and they went berserk. Just something to consider. YMMV as all horses are different.

My SIL called me recently to tell me he bought a Winchester? in this caliber. Complained it had some screwy 11/16" thread diameter.
My CMMG barrel is 1/2 x 28.

I shoot the 165gr ftx suppressed for deer. It's not subsonic, but quiet enough. I'd want the velocity for expansion personally. IS there a reason you want something subsonic? If that's the route you're going, I'd make sure whatever bullet your using expands at subsonic velocities.
