Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada My 45-70 CVA Scout

That was a great idea to have the barrel rechambered to the 360 Buckhammer. I remember a close friend telling me many years ago that rimmed cartridges would soon be gone. He told me to buy up as many 30-30 and 303 cases as I could That was in 1980. His predictions were somewhat premature. Several new rimmed cartridges came out about that time and a few old timers like the 45-70 were making a comeback. I can see the Buckhammer as a viable cartridge. Not on the plains, but in those places where rimmed cartridges have traditionally done well. The US NE and down the east coast. Up here, some of the old time cartridges are selling well in central and eastern Canada.

I think that cartridge would do well with cast bullets too.
