The .360 Buckhammer cartridge offered a flatter trajectory and better terminal performance over many contemporary straight-wall cartridges while remaining compliant in most applicable states. .360 Buckhammer's parent case is the .30-30 Winchester , necked-up to use the same .358-caliber bullets as the .35 Remington and .35 Whelen .

A guide to the recoil from the cartridge, and an indicator of bullet penetration potential. The .30-06 Springfield (at 2.064 lbf-s) is considered the upper limit for tolerable recoil for inexperienced rifle shooters.

Although military surplus rifles in .303 British were widely available in Canada, the .30-30 was so common that for many years the Hudson Bay Company and other stores in remote areas stocked only .30-30 ammunition. [21] The .30-30 is commonly seen as usable on deer up to 150 to 200 yards. [22] In Canada, the .30-30 has a long history of use on ...
It was Remington's rimless answer to the popular .30-30 Winchester cartridge. Factory ammunition was produced until the late 1980s, but now it is a prospect for handloaders. It is the parent case for the 6.8mm Remington SPC, [1] which is in turn the parent case for the .224 Valkyrie.
The normal factory load consists of a 200 grain round-nosed bullet with a muzzle velocity of 2080 feet per second. This 200 grain bullet is nearly 18% heavier than the .30-30's 170 grain bullet, and has a 16% larger frontal area. This gives it a substantial increase in power over the .30-30, especially when used on larger game species.
In hunting applications, the 7.62×40mm WT delivers slightly more energy than the 7.62×39mm and is similar to the 6.8 SPC [7] and .30-30 Winchester, making it useful for game such as deer and feral hogs, particularly for hunters who want to use an AR-15, but cannot legally use the 5.56 round, due to its low power factor on game.
However, the ammo was much heavier (393 gr (25.4 g) for 7.62 x 51 round compared to 160 gr (10.4 g) for .45 ACP), effectively limiting the ammo load. Additionally, when fired in full automatic mode free recoil delivered by full-sized and full-powered cartridges became an issue, too.
