Is it real?

I agree. Remington may be late to the party. Much of us in Ohio are very happy with 350 Legend and 450 Bushmaster. This seems to be an in between cartridge that, in my opinion so far, doesn’t seem needed. Perhaps die hard lever folks can appreciate it more.View attachment 1123905
It'll be a 35 cal from the little I've gathered it's a 30-30 opened up to accept a .358 bullet aka a .35 Remington but with a bigger rim no case taper so they can get it in the straightwall only states like Iowa Michigan Ohio Illinois they are marketing it for a lever action it's a distasteful copy of Winchesters .350 legend
Oof! I cannot remember what I was thinking, but it was wrong. .360" suggests it is near to the .358" bore diameter of various handguns and rifles. I wasn't drinking either. So far I haven't been diagnosed with senility. My apologies to everyone.Looking on line, I see some ads for .360 Buckhammer featuring a 180 grain bullet. No caliber specified, but the ".360" suggests a 6.5mm bore diameter. Also the add specified, not in stock.
Okay, that is correct - at the time earlier today when I looked.Archie said:Looking at the SAAMI website, it is not listed as a SAMMi 'accepted' cartridge. So I have no more information than you.
35 Rem is not straight wall for the states that have that requirement.They couldn't just make some 35 Rem ammo instead?
If this is true, I agree it sure looks like a rimed 350 Legend. 350 Legend has far more appeal to me being AR friendly than this rimmed version.

Already have 350 and 450 for that role.
This buckhammer thing just looks like a lever friendly 350. Johnny come lately.
Based on somewhat more than speculation, knowing several of the former Remington/Marlin R&D engineers here in Huntsville that cartridge is pure Vista. Though it does seem like the old Remington could have come up with it.I wonder if this is a leftover project from when Remington owned Marlin? Maybe they were going to come out with a rifle to go with the cartridge. If Marlin was working on a gun, maybe Ruger has taken over that project now? Anyway, just some interesting speculation based on absolutely no factual information whatsoever...
I will never understand the straight wall restriction, but there is no reason to worry about the new cartridge. It's promoted by Remington, which has doomed every cartridge it has developed since the 7mm mag.
Making ammo for existing guns does not sell new guns, which is the idea, no doubt.They couldn't just make some 35 Rem ammo instead?
