Remington’s 360 Buckhammer ammunition (brand part no. R20041) loads a 180-grain Core-Lokt Tipped bullet for hunters running the straight-wall rifle cartridge built specifically for lever-gun hunting in states that restrict rifle seasons to straight-wall cases. Remington developed 360 Buckhammer to deliver more range and knockdown power than pistol-caliber straight-wall options like .350 Legend, while still cycling cleanly through a traditional lever-action rifle. The Core-Lokt Tipped bullet pairs Remington’s decades-proven locking core-to-jacket bond with a polymer tip, adding a flatter trajectory on top of Core-Lokt’s controlled expansion and deep penetration. For lever-gun hunters in a straight-wall-only state, this rifle ammunition is purpose-built for the season.
