It is called the .360 Buckhammer. The cartridge&#8217;s primary market appears to be those states where hunting regulations have changed to allow the use of a straight-walled cartridge in areas formerly restricted to shotgun or muzzle-loader only. From the comments by the marketing teams at both companies, they are aiming this initially for use in lever action rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FederalPowerShokRifle360BH_lg-1024x605.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FederalPowerShokRifle360BH_lg-1024x605.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FederalPowerShokRifle360BH_lg-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FederalPowerShokRifle360BH_lg-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FederalPowerShokRifle360BH_lg-1536x908.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FederalPowerShokRifle360BH_lg-640x378.jpg 640w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FederalPowerShokRifle360BH_lg-940x555.jpg 940w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FederalPowerShokRifle360BH_lg-1320x780.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FederalPowerShokRifle360BH_lg.jpg 1970w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Federal will be releasing the cartridge in 180 and 200 grain jacketed soft point versions.  The cartridge is intended to match the energy and velocity of the venerable .30-30 Winchester but with softer recoil and better accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, Remington will be releasing the .360 Buckhammer in 180 and 200 grain versions. However, it will be with their Core-Lokt bullet. From Remington:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>360 Buckhammer\u2019s key features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ultimate straight wall cartridge<\/li><li>Accurate &amp; deadly at 200 yards or more<\/li><li>Easy to shoot with low recoil<\/li><li>35% more energy than 350 Legend<\/li><li>Muzzle velocity: 2,215-2,400 FPS<\/li><li>.358 diameter bullets deliver deadly results on-game<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remington and, I presume, Federal are partnering with Henry Rifles to introduce the new cartridge. It will be available today to shoot at Range Day in a Henry lever action rifle. If I get a chance to shoot it, I&#8217;ll give my impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong>  The weather at Industry Day at the Range was challenging. That is a nicer way of saying very windy and then it got worse. They had to close the ranges due to thunder and lightening in the area. I don&#8217;t know if it resumed after the storm as I had left by then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, one of the first things I did after getting to the range was shoot the Henry rifle in .360 Buckhammer. I had never shot a Henry lever action before but it is slick. It had a very smooth lever stroke. As to the .360 Buckhammer, I found the recoil to be quite reasonable and I hit the steel target off-hand every time. For those that must use a straight-walled cartridge for big game hunting, I can&#8217;t see any reason not to give this combination serious consideration.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My morning email brought news that both Federal and Remington would be releasing a new straight-walled cartridge.
