Remington's New 360 Buckhammer Hunting Cartridge

The Buckhammer name is legendary with Big Green, and this year's new 360 Buckhammer from Remington will turn heads. The cartridge is designed for lever-action rifles and will be available in two Remington Core-Lokt loads, with more options coming in the future. Key features include 35 percent more energy than the 350 Legend, muzzle velocities of 2,215-2,400 fps and 180- and 200-grain sizes. Remington's launch partner, Henry Rifles, is working on other lever-action and single-shot options.

In the video above, Remington's Joel Hodgdon and Game & Fish Editorial Director Adam Heggenstaller go in-depth about Remington 360 Buckhammer cartridges at SHOT Show 2023 in Las Vegas. More from Remington:

Since 1939, more hunters have relied on Remington Core-Lokt than any other big game ammunition, and rightly so. It's filled more tags on more continents than any other load. Core-Lokt is the original controlled expansion bullet. Its time-proven performance has made it hunting's first choice for more than 75 years. The tapered copper jacket is locked to a solid lead core, delivering massive 2X expansion, weight retention and consistent on-game results. Will be available in soft point and pointed soft point versions, and in a range of bullet weights for virtually every centerfire hunting caliber made. More info: remington.com/360buckhammer
