"Velocity, Energy, and Drop similar to 30-30 Win."

So what's the point?

Probably be popular in states that have straight wall restrictions

Also, there will be a bunch of suckers jump on this bandwagon like every other time the wheel is reinvented.

Can’t wait to see boxes and boxes and boxes of this ammo at my local Walmart like 350 Legend.

Somebody at Ruger is saying, "Hey boss, look at this".

If I lived in a state that forced the straight wall restrictions and thought the 45-70 was to much I'd pick up a 38-55 or 375 Winchester but I understand human nature is fascinated with something new.

I'm an old fudd & automatically shrug off new cartridges because they seldom do anything different except for generate sales so let me try to say something positive this time.... Uhm at least it's a lever action round and not another creed round variant for a bolt gun . But what do I know I still consider the 30-30 a "big game" cartridge

I’m sure the .358 diameter bullets of the 360 BH is a vast improvement over the .355 diameter bullets of the 350 Legend killing-wise.

Just read this online about it

" The 200-grain bullet loads of the 360 Buckhammer look to be pretty much identical to the .375 Winchester. Of course, the new cartridge has a smaller caliber and its bullets should have better BC and SD but that’s probably irrelevant for the hunting distances it is designed to be used at "

So it's just like the 6.5 creed vs 260 rem or 6mm creed vs 243 scenario in that it brings only the slightest improvement in the real world.

With the shortage of components available to the customer in this modern economy why don't we focus on bolstering the stock of what already works & has proven instead of using valuable resources to build new cartridges that aren't really bringing anything to the table
