Description
Remington Core-Lokt ammunition has been the go-to choice for hunters since 1939, and the .360 Buckhammer in 200-grain soft point continues that legacy. This load pairs the time-tested bullet design with a cartridge built specifically for lever-action rifles and the growing number of states that mandate straight-walled cartridges for hunting.
What Makes Core-Lokt Buckhammer Stand Out
The 200-grain soft point runs at 2200 fps with 2149 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, giving you ballistics that exceed the .350 Legend and stack up favorably against classic lever-gun options like the .30-30 Winchester. The Core-Lokt bullet itself uses a tapered copper jacket locked to a solid lead core, designed to expand reliably to roughly twice its original diameter while maintaining weight retention. This means energy stays in the game rather than being wasted downrange.
Built for Lever Action and Close-Range Hunting
The .360 Buckhammer's straight-walled case feeds flawlessly through lever-action magazines and magazines, making it an ideal choice for hunters who love the handling and familiarity of a classic rifle platform. From Henry steel lever actions to Marlin Model 336 rifles and single-shot options, the cartridge delivers consistent accuracy and terminal performance within the 200-yard effective range that most hunters operate in. The rimmed design pairs with fast-handling lever guns to create one of the best modern setups for brush hunting and timber stalking.
Performance You Can Count On
Those expanding bullets deliver pass-through performance on deer and hog-sized game, with evidence of solid expansion and consistent energy transfer through the vitals. Field results show quick, ethical harvests even in heavy cover. The brass casing is reloadable, making this a solid option for handloaders looking to stretch their dollar on a cartridge that's still relatively new to the market. Each box contains 20 rounds ready to load and shoot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles can I use this .360 Buckhammer ammunition in?
This ammo is designed for lever-action rifles, break-open action rifles, and single-shot rifles chambered in .360 Buckhammer. Henry Repeating Arms, Marlin, Magnum Research, and other manufacturers produce firearms in this cartridge. Make sure your specific rifle is chambered for .360 Buckhammer before purchasing.
Is the .360 Buckhammer better than the .350 Legend for hunting?
The .360 Buckhammer produces faster velocity and maintains higher energy out to 200 yards compared to the .350 Legend. The heavier 200-grain bullet and straighter trajectory make it a strong choice for medium game hunting, though .350 Legend has more firearm options available. Both are viable for straight-wall cartridge states.
How far should I hunt with this load?
The .360 Buckhammer is designed for effective hunting out to about 200 yards. Beyond that distance, bullet drop becomes significant and energy retention drops below what you'd want for ethical harvests on medium game. Within 150 yards, you have plenty of margin for error with a well-placed shot.
Can I reload this ammunition?
Yes, the brass cases are reloadable. Hodgdon and other powder manufacturers publish load data for the .360 Buckhammer with 200-grain bullets, making it a good option for handloaders looking to minimize ammunition costs over time.
