The Federal Power-Shok 360 Buckhammer is a straightforward hunting round built around what actually works. This isn't trendy ammunition, it's practical ammunition. The 180-grain jacketed soft point is a time-tested bullet design that's been dropping game reliably for generations.
What makes this load work for lever-action hunting is the combination of velocity and energy. With a muzzle velocity of 2,375 fps, you're getting roughly 2,254 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle, which carries nearly 1,000 ft-lbs downrange to 200 yards. The ballistic coefficient of .178 means this round shoots flatter and retains energy better than many other straight-walled options you'll find.
The jacketed soft point design is where this ammunition earns its paycheck. The copper jacket prevents fragmentation on impact while allowing the soft lead core to expand reliably for consistent wound channels. This is controlled expansion at its best, not some complex engineering that might fail in the field. Federal has been loading this exact bullet design for decades across other calibers, so there's zero guesswork here.
The cartridges come loaded in boxer-primed brass that's reloadable, which means you're getting more value from each box than you might from disposable ammo. If you're into handloading, the 360 Buckhammer brass is relatively new to the market but already proven. The straight-walled case with its minimal taper makes sizing straightforward compared to other cartridges.
The 360 Buckhammer itself was designed specifically for lever-action rifles, and Federal's Power-Shok ammunition is purpose-built for hunters who don't need premium pricing. You get the benefit of Federal's century-plus of ammunition manufacturing experience without paying for features you won't use. The rimmed case design feeds perfectly through tube magazines on lever guns like the Henry and other platforms built for this cartridge. If you're hunting deer or similar-sized game within 200 yards, this is legitimate field ammunition.
The 360 Buckhammer was designed specifically for lever-action rifles. Henry Repeating Arms is the primary manufacturer currently offering lever guns in this caliber, though other manufacturers have developed rifles for the round. It's not compatible with any other existing rifle platforms or calibers.
The 360 Buckhammer delivers similar energy and trajectory to the .30-30, but with a slightly flatter trajectory and comparable recoil. Both are effective brush-hunting cartridges, though the 360 Buckhammer gives you more striking energy at 200 yards and was designed with modern manufacturing standards. If you're familiar with the .30-30, the 360 will feel very approachable.
Yes, these rounds come with boxer-primed brass that's fully reloadable. The straight-walled case design makes resizing straightforward compared to bottlenecked cartridges. This gives you good value if you're planning to reload your own ammunition.
Federal rates this load as effective to 200 yards, which is the realistic hunting distance for the 360 Buckhammer cartridge. At 200 yards, you're still looking at roughly 950 ft-lbs of energy, which is more than adequate for medium game like deer. Beyond that distance, energy drops quickly due to the straight-walled design.
