Home Forums Lever Action Central Lever Actions - General .360 Buckhammer

Like the cartridge idea, like that its a 35 cal too.... Almost like they are 'reforming' pun intended, the 35 rem. Remington and lever gun manufacturers obviously trying to catch some of the market the Winchester thing has flared up.

New spin on an old cartridge. If happen across a nice lever gun '336' in the 360 buckwacker, bucksmacker, buckflaten'r..... I mean buckhammer, I am very willing to give it a try in the thick timber.... What would be wrong just calling it the 360 rem??

The little advertisement video that rem has on there sight had me thinking I had clicked on a haunted house or property video...

Manson Reamers had two 360 Buckhammer chamber reamers available yesterday afternoon.

PT&G shows the reamer in stock on their website.

Have one on the way, going to rechamber one of my max barrels for now until a lever gun gets here hopefully a Marlin, already have dies bullets and brass

have noticed shotgun slugs have been very very hard to find, where as 350L and 450bm is available.

Rich,
Did you make your brass? If so, was it from 30-30?

Thanks

Dinny
I made some from WW 38-55 brass it came out closest to the drawing with a .379 loaded neck also tried some Starline 38-55 it came out at .378 tried one WW 375 win case it was .380 all were loaded with 180gr Speer hot- core bullets

Rich,
Mike Bellm will get my barrel for rechamber next week. He recommended trimming 30-30 brass down to 1.8" and running it through a FL sizer after flaring the case neck a little to help ease the mandrel in. I just ordered dies from RCBS. Free shipping is nice.

Anyone have any concerns with feeding after a Marlin 336 30-30 rebore and rechamber? JES is bound to have a reamer soon.

I thought we'd already established that the .30-30 shoulder is wider than the .360 at that point, and re-bores on it won't work..?

Those states have a 1.8 case length rule so the 444, 45-70, 375 and 38-55 are all to long to be legal. The 360 BH is 1.8 in long.

Why 30-30 brass did he say it was stronger or just easier to get, and what barrel are you having him chamber

30-30 is more plentiful and cheaper. I'm sending him a H&R barrel chambered in 357 Max.

Bummer to rechamber a Max barrel. I had one that I wish I didn’t let go.

It looks as though the chamber was cut with a drill bit or a boring bar. I won't lose sleep over this decision. I have another Maxi with an excellent chamber and throat.

That makes sense.

As anyone chambered a bolt gun yet ? Wondering if the rimmed case would be a problem for some actions. I did a tikka T3 in 35 Remington and it works like a charm but 35 Rem. ain't a rimmed case.

Savage and Remington made 30-30 bolt guns years ago. They weren't that popular and never really caught on. Just my opinion, but rims belong in single shots first then lever guns.

That barrel will bring you $500 on ebay. Just have Shaw mak you a barrel
.

Savage and Remington 30-30 bolt guns are some of the most accurate bolt guns ever made. ANY maker.

Don't damn the cuisine till you taste .

30-30 in Europe is 7.62 x 51 rimmed. And we all know what a 7.62 x 51 nato can do.

.303 brit and 7.62 x 54 are still used today in machine guns and in bolts.

Mosin nagant is the most successful sniper rifle in the world.


They are both rimmed rounds.
