Federal & Remington Ammunition Debut 360 Buckhammer Ammo Loads
Adam Scepaniak 02.07.23
When it comes to hunting throughout the United States for medium- and big-game animals our legislators construct odd rules for us to abide by. Without making this a political discussion, many states allow for straight-wall cartridges and do not let hunters utilize shouldered-case rounds. Be that as it may, ammunition manufacturers are constantly looking to create new cartridges to make more effective rounds for hunting (and to stay in step with current laws). So, Remington Ammunition set out to create one of the best straight-wall cartridges to date for hunting by unveiling the 360 Buckhammer round.

The new 360 Buckhammer cartridge from Remington Ammunition deploys common 0.358″ diameter bullets (think of .357 Magnum) and it outperforms the most common, popular straight-wall cartridges people are bringing into the woods with them. Less recoil, more energy upon impact, and more velocity (thus, flatter shooting) all equate to more ethical harvests for hunters and the game we pursue. By all metrics, this new 360 Buckhammer cartridge from Remington looks to be a hit!
