..360 Buckhammer from Remington.

[Leo]

I just heard about this new rifle cartridge from Remington. It has a rim on the case like a 30/30. I am thinking it is a standardized version of the old .357 Herret Wildcat that was made out of a 30/30 case. Sort of like the .260 Remington was a adoption of a 6.5mm X 308 Wildcat.

They say Henry will be making lever guns for it. I remember Marlin had a .444 Mariln lever gun

My brother (the one you know) just inherited a model 336 I believe in .444 Marlin.
It's a vintage model and he just loves it.

It's a straight walled case to make it legal to hunt deer with in states that only allow straight walled rifle cartridge. Basically, a rimmed .350 Legend, more or less.

I equate it more to a ramped up .38-55. But you're probably closer.

It ain't no .444 Marlin, that's for sure!!

With Remington being the only ammo manufacturer, Henry being the only rifle maker, and the 350 Legend already having a pretty good toe hold in the market, I'm betting this will be one big old flop.

They're shooting for a very narrow market. Hunters who hunt straight-walled restrictive areas and want to shoot a levergun. Take away those two factors and there is zero use for this cartridge.

This came up on my YouTube feed yesterday.

I can't imagine this being a popular caliber. I own several rifles that came out with one manufacture making them and another making ammo and all of them phased out and are a pain to find ammo for.

I seen a Henry 360 lever gun in a small town shop recently but already built a 350L AR upper so, nope.
I wonder if cut down 38-55 cases would pass the litmus test along the same lines that a trimmed 35 Remington does. It would need to be cut .285 or so shorter. Test at your own risk. I already own several 38-55's.

I just got a .35 rem pistol to avoid trimming.

I'm guessing they will sell more to collectors than they will to hunters.

Don't care for the looks of Henry rifles.
But to each his own.

I don't either but their are plenty of dedicated Henry fans and firearms produced in low numbers (i.e. weird calibers) tend to become collectors items eventually.

You mean I shoulda kept my first year Winchester Big Bore in .307 ?
Worst rifle I ever owned LOL...........glad to have gotten rid of it.

LOL!!!! I picked up a Henry X along with every round of ammo they had. Forty rounds thru it and it’s a very accurate rifle. With everything I’ve read on the round it’s almost like they took the pros from a few older rounds and mixed them all into this one. I’m still tossing around the idea of picking up one of their brass framed models I like it that well. X model is a great rifle I just don’t care for the furniture but that will be easily fixed. No much of a story sorry lol. Now I bought a few hundred rounds of the Remington 200’s but Federal also is making ammo as well.
