Description
The Remington Core-Lokt Copper .360 Buckhammer brings legendary Core-Lokt performance to a monometal platform. Instead of the traditional lead core wrapped in a tapered copper jacket, this load uses a single-piece high-strength copper hollow point bullet that delivers the same level of controlled expansion and penetration hunters have relied on for decades.
What Makes the Core-Lokt Copper Design Work
This isn't just a straight-wall cartridge round—it's built specifically for lever-action rifles where the .360 Buckhammer's 160-grain copper projectile shines. The solid copper construction ensures consistent performance across a range of impact velocities without sacrificing the mushrooming you get from traditional Core-Lokt loads. Every round is loaded with clean-burning powder, non-corrosive primers, and reloadable brass cases, so consistency shot-to-shot is baked in.
Real-World Performance on Game
The .360 Buckhammer was purpose-built for leverage action hunting at practical distances, and this 160-grain load fits right into that mission. You're getting the same energy retention and penetration characteristics that have made the .360 Buckhammer increasingly popular for deer and hogs. Field testing shows this cartridge delivers flat trajectories and more bone-stopping energy out to 200 yards than most competing straight-wall options, making it a legitimate choice for hunters in states requiring straight-wall cartridges.
Built for Reloaders and Hunters
Despite the lead-free copper bullet, the ballistics and trajectory match expectations for serious hunting ammunition. The 20-round box gives you a practical quantity for both sight-in sessions and filling your magazine when you're headed to the stand. If you reload, the quality brass cases are there for multiple uses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the .360 Buckhammer a good choice for deer hunting?
Yes. The .360 Buckhammer was specifically engineered for lever-action rifles in hunting situations, delivering flat trajectory and reliable expansion out to 200 yards. Independent testing confirms adequate accuracy for hunting applications with consistent field performance on deer-sized game.
What's the difference between this copper load and the traditional Core-Lokt?
The Core-Lokt Copper uses a single-piece copper bullet instead of a lead core with tapered copper jacket. Both designs deliver controlled expansion and weight retention, but the all-copper version is lead-free. Performance characteristics on game are similar, making this suitable for hunters who prefer lead-free ammunition.
Can I reload these brass cases?
Yes. Remington provides quality reloadable brass cases, so after firing, you can reload them just like any centerfire rifle ammunition. This makes the 160-grain load practical for frequent shooters and those who develop handloads for their .360 Buckhammer rifle.
How does .360 Buckhammer compare to other straight-wall cartridges?
The .360 Buckhammer produces higher muzzle velocities and flatter trajectories than the .350 Legend while remaining compliant in states that require straight-wall cartridges. It's also easier to shoot than larger straight-walls like the .450 Bushmaster, with recoil comparable to a light .30-30 load.
