The .308 based wildcat I've been working on can be reloaded using .44 Mag. carbide dies. A 300 grain jacketed softpoint at around 2500 FPS would give that "buckhammer" a run for its money on that clay block. For use in states where the case length isn't an issue, a .30-06 case could get the same treatment- - - - -cut the brass off at the base of the taper, fireform, and use a .429 bullet. The case taper would resemble a .30-06 AI. One of my friends did a Mauser up like that.

Other than a bit smaller bullet, it's not much different than the 375 or 38-55 Winchester. And yes, Rem will probably bungle it. What else is new ? You missed the point, Craigster. Several midwestern states that previously required shotguns-only now allow rifle cartridges provided they are straight walled. BUT...Remington is about four yers late vs. the .350 Legend, which can be used in an AR15 platform. the .360 Buckhammer can't.

Lever action rifles and deer are a combination made in heaven 100 plus years ago. If Reminton can keep the ammo flowing I'm sure Henry can do their part. I killed a deer many years ago with a .357 shooting a 160 grain soft point. In a rifle configuration that would be a lethal combination. If I were to do it again it would be a 158 grain hollow point. It appeared the soft point never expanded a bit. No need for the 200 grain unless you wanted to make the much longer shots. kwg

I’d go for one if I lived in a state requiring straight walled case. It looks a lot like a 38/55 with lighter bullets to me…..sorta like a 375 Win as mentioned earlier.

If winchester had half a clue they'd reintroduce their .401 Self Loader, redesigned to take common .40 cal bullets and fit in AR15s.

I have always liked a 35 Cal rifle and have been killing deer for years with a 35 Remington, or a 356 Winchester in one Marlin rifle or another. Recently I've been using a 35 Winchester and been very happy with the results. I'd go with a 360 Buckhammer just to try it out. But before I do, it has to be available in a rifle I like and the ammo companies have to put as many boxes of ammo on the shelves as there are 6.5 Creedmoor. I have three different 35 caliber rifles that you can't find ammo for and don't need another one. Until that time comes, I'll pass.
If I needed to shoot a straight wall case to meet the state requirements for deer hunting I'd much rather do it with a lever action than an AR type rifle and I'd have one of the first 360's I could get. Probably see if I could get one built on a Marlin 336 action.

Ain't that totally diddly-damn sure?  I really wanted one of the few that they made in .30-30 and missed my chance. Man, that was a cool one. Blessings, Steve

It would be a perfect fit for a Ruger #1. I'm of the opinion that single shots should be chambered for rimmed cartridges.

I’m pretty sure everyone gets the purpose, it’s the fact that it’s another Remington introduction that’s the problem. Except it isn't. The 360 Buckhammer was jointly introduced by Remington Ammo USA and Henry, not REMARMS. My friend has a new Henry 30-30. Very nice rifle. We tried to sight it in, but the sights ran out of adjustment. Best we could do was a about 6" away from the bull at the 2 o'clock postion. He ended up ordering an aftermarket set of sights.

By the way Remington is under new ownership now and judging them by past ownership is just plain dumb. I agree! So far they have collaborated with Henry for rifles and Federal for ammo. This is in addition to their own loadings with 180gr and the exemplary 200gr RNCL bullets. I have an older H&R/NEF 357 Magnum barrel that was rechambered with a 357 Maximum cylinder reamer. The throat is real long and I hope the extra case length of the 360 will clean it up some. I have 35 Rem, 358 Win, and 35 Whelen rifles but I hunt private property with my 357 Maxi. I killed my first bear with a 357 Maxi rifle in 2019 and my son and I have killed several deer with it too.

Blessings, Steve I think it would be perfect in a Ruger Number Three.
