SAAMI Specs of the 360 Buckhammer (360 BHMR) Cartridge
Pretty much every year a new cartridge is announced at the SHOT Show or right before it by one of the major firearms and/or ammunition manufacturers. This year, the company was Remington and the new cartridge was the 360 Buckhammer (360 BHMR). Shortly after the release of this new round, SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute) published the cartridge and chamber drawings of the 360 Buckhammer. Let’s take a look.
[SHOT 2023] Remington's New 360 Buckhammer Cartridge
Remington Ammunition has released a new hunting cartridge at SHOT Show 2023 – the 360 Buckhammer (360 BHMR). It’s a .358 caliber straight-walled cartridge created by necking up and blowing out the .30-30 Winchester case. The 360 BHMR is advertised as being better than the .30-30 Win in terms of muzzle velocity, retained energy, drop and recoil. Being a rimmed cartridge, the 360 Buckhammer is perfect for lever action rifles, and Henry Repeating Arms has already launched three side gate lever guns as well as a single-shot rifle chambered in this cartridge.
