#SportingArmsAndAmmunitionManufacturers'Institute

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.

Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) has published the cartridge and chamber drawings of the 30 Super Carry (30 S Carry). With the acceptance and standardization of this new cartridge by SAAMI, we now have precise data on its dimensions, ballistics and chamber pressure – specs, the combination of which is what makes this new cartridge interesting for the concealed carry market.

SAAMI or the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute is an association of the nation’s leading firearms, ammunition and component manufacturers.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has always been a catalyst for positive growth within the firearms industry in regards to protecting our 2nd Amendment rights and ensuring the future of the shooting sports. Typically, when our rights come under scrutiny, they are at the front lines for us with multiple other stalwart organizations.
