.360 Buckhammer is a straight-wall cartridge built for hunters in states that restrict rifle hunting to straight-wall or shotgun-class calibers, and Remington loads its legendary Core-Lokt bullet into this Remington Core-Lokt .360 Buckhammer 200-grain rifle ammunition (brand part no. R27743) to bring proven big-game performance to that class. Remington has built Core-Lokt since 1939 around a tapered copper jacket locked to a solid lead core, a controlled-expansion design that has filled more tags than any other hunting bullet on the market. In .360 Buckhammer, the 200-grain soft point launches at 2200 fps, delivering the flat-shooting, hard-hitting performance deer and hog hunters expect from a modern straight-wall round. For hunters working thick timber or brushy river bottoms where a bottleneck rifle cartridge is off-limits, this load closes the performance gap left by older straight-wall options.
