Thread: 360 buck hammer.

Remington has decided to release this.

Seems to be for the straight wall states and for a lever gun.

Not sure how I feel on this one but I thought I'd open it up for discussion

great idea.....if it floats your boat to own one..why not???
be interesting to see what it comes chambered in....be good for a break open gun....

Remington Ammo and Remington Rifles are separate companies so it will probably be one of the current lever actions, the Ruger Marlin rifle perhaps?
Looks like it is a Henry.

ooooo goodie a Henry single shot break open.......now your talking.

a day late and a dollar short, sums up Remington. Most likely bomb like others.
Being rimmed severely limits rifle options, no AR's for a start and in the USA that's not a well thought out marketing plan.
Only positive thing is it may mean more options in bullets for 358Win users.

375Win anyone, an oldie but goodie!

Nothing to see here !

I have a 375 win, two 38-55s and two 30-30s
All in single shots and all do the same job as this is intended for

Legally it fills a space in the USA... probably go OK there but probably not a lot going for it here?

I see that Henry already chamber the 350 Legend in their rifles plus the 35 Remington in their lever action. To me the 360 would be a better option for their rifles than the Legend with its odd projectile size and case head dia. But as you say @akaroa1 no better than the.375 Win, 38-55, 30-30 or 35 Rem for that matter for anywhere but a few states in the US. One would be nice though.

its about time someone made a .30 calibre in a really long case,say 3" long with gentle taper and rim... to meet the straight walled thing. with internal capacity of ??30/06

Ok @Micky Duck I'm keen

What parent case were you thinking of ?

hmmmmm what can you ACTUALLY GET ?????
a .45/70 or .45/90 would work I think.... not sure how the straightwalled criteria is set....
I can miss with anything LOL...

@Micky Duck I think the 8x72R might be a good starting point
