.360 Remington Buckhammer!

[freefall]

Seems useful for straight wall States and I think likely Hornady will get round to making bullets / rounds with the Leverevolution soft red tip pointy bullets for it

Don't they already make such bullets for the .35 Rem?

They may well do

OMG! ANOTHER new cartridge. A necked up and blown out .30-30 case. And how is this different than the .350 Legend? It NEVER ends! Makes me want to go out and buy a Creedmoor! LOL

Say it ain't so man!

 

[Flewis]

I can think of worse reasons to buy another lever gun. Works for me.

I Agree! Don't drink the Needmoor cool-aid!

Just go to the original source and get a 6.5x54 Mannlicher or a 6.5x55 Swede.

Or build a 6.5 Samurai.

Guys these 2 rounds are for straight wall states. The 450 bushmaster, 444 45.70 all have too much recoil for children and some of the ladies. In that case they make sense. Dumb name aside.

What about the 38-55. Straight walled would not kick as much as a 45-70 etc

Of course it wouldn't. The problem is that the caliber is a bit dated and uses an odd ball .378-.379 diameter bullet. If it were a true .375...no problem. Using a .30-30 as the parent case is not a bad idea really and lining it up with .358 bullets makes the most sense. The .350 legend going to 9mm bore was a smart moves as with it being semiautomatic, it's liable to see a higher volume of fire.in practice.

I still think this trash of being recoil shy in the .30-06 to .45-70 range is a case of eat hearty, practice and try again next year for hefting the deer rifle.

Forrest H. Every mag you read it seems recoil is in the first paragraph you read. In loading manuals the don’t talk about it much before the 22 Hornet. It’s the weak world we live in.

@Flewis some serious unpreparedness out there now. Daddy used to say keep practicing and we'll see about it next season. That was in the days of the mighty .30-06. I'm not sure field and stream even recognizes that as a deer cartridge anymore.

Forgot about the odd ball calibre was thinking it was a .38/9mm cal.

There are ways to build recoil tolerance, like starting with a soft cal and working up. Being taught how to hold a rifle properly, improving the stock etc. To me all the take about recoil on anything .243 and under has to be taking the piss.

Flinch can be another thing brought on by excessive muzzle blast not just recoil. Simple ways to over come that to.........a longer barrel.

There's a good solution in doing that as well as double plugging especially when there's a covered firing position at the range.

I agree with you on taking the piss. They're doing it deliberately to sell the new chamberings. I personally have a hard time listening to recoil tales of anything under .308.

 

[Flewis]

My 20 year old niece swore off every thing less than her 5.8lbs 300win. Up till that 308 with a brake was the biggest she had . Now it just my 300 (her words).

That's pretty light. What kind of rifle is that?

 

[Flewis]

The early t3 super lite, the t3x is 6lbs. Also have a rifle Inc that is a few ounces lighter but it is ported. I also have the t3x and am trying to trade her to get mine back, no luck yet.

So I was talking with my Navajo buddy today and I brought this cartridge up, he said Buckhammer? Sounds like a drink you would get in a gay Indian bar on the Rez! I almost pissed myself laughing so hard.

I am told the new 360 Buckwanker is carbon neutral & will help off set climate change the Australian Government is going to co fund it for rainbow warriors.

Actually I should not laugh at that as they will probably use that as their excuse to ban larger caliber cartridges.

Well Townsend @Bob Nelson 35Whelen says he’s carbon neutral but that hasn’t helped off set any climate change yet! LOL

@Forrest Halley
Ya both a pair of Muppets
The 38-55 and the 375 Winchester big bore take exactly the same bullets. The 375 big bore us just a hot loaded 38-55. You can boost the old girl up to almost equal the big bore.
