I understand why they are trying these new cartridges
But, I still love the 35rem.
Too bad Marlin is not making them anymore. Clay
Good review, thanks. I have a 336 in 35Rem and handloads equal or surpass the 360 factory loads. The 35Rem was originally chambered in the old Remington auto loader and loaded to lower pressures than what modern leverguns can handle so it will never win the race when it comes to factory ammo. They both kill deer dead, so that is all that matter. If I did not already have my 35 Rem I would probably get a 360,
What caliber is the 360 ? 36/ or 35 .357/ or .358 ?
Yeah, the 358Winchester surpasses them both.
Same here, love my old Marlin, but the Henry is slick, and the .360 Buckhammer is .35 REM.+ performance. And lots of ammo is being made. A big plus.
Over priced
‘More money for Ukrain’ eroding the dollar, not Henry charging too much.
I’m glad they are finally making more options for us straight wall states. I’d really like to see the difference between the 360 and the new 400 legend when it finally comes out.
That will be a comparison that a lot of people ask for. But since the 350 and 400 Legend cartridges headspace on the case mouth, they are not compatible with a lever gun.
@@TargetSuite that’s a great point. 360 for lever and 350 for AR-15 type rifles and 400 will be a bolt action style. I really appreciate all you do sir.
Just curious, what is the rationale behind straight wall cartridge laws?
The reason I ask is I live in a state that doesn’t require straight wall cartridge rifles for deer hunting. However, several counties of the state are “shotgun counties” meaning you can’t use a rifle. And I hunt one of those counties.
@@MDR-hn2yz I’ve always be told because they don’t want the bullets to carry as far as normal rifle rounds on flat land. Never did understand why they can’t separate counties like you said.
Both energy and trajectory, they are virtually twins. The difference is the 360 can be handloaded hotter than factory ammo. A bit hotter. 400 legend pretty much stays the same. But all load data for the 400 legend is AR compatible. Can the legend catch back up in a bolt gun? That answer may take a while.
I like Henry rifles and this one looks like another good one. The 360 is a great cartridge as it is just a little hotter than the legendary 35 Remington. I'd like to see a Leverevolution type bullet (Hornady) loaded for it. Those soft plastic tips bullets that are safe in tubular magazines would be a great fit for this cartridge. A 190-200gr pointed (soft plastic tip safe for tube mag bullet) design would offer additonal velocity at longer ranges. I hope the cartridge becomes popular.
I agree. The Leverevolution loads add at least 50 yards to the effective range (closer to 100y, really, but drop becomes a bigger issue). Sometimes that deer is just a little farther away than I would feel comfortable with traditional loads.
Years ago I knew an old-timer who liked to brag that he shot a deer at a whopping 200 yards with his trusty 30-30. Had to aim over his back. People were impressed. These days with modern ammo, that might just prompt a "so what?"
It’s always difficult with new cartridges at first. Remington Ammunition (under the same ownership as Federal/CCI/Speer) developed the cartridge in partnership with Henry. So you have some big names participating here.
It’s kind of like 350 Legend, designed by Winchester but picked up by numerous ammunition manufacturers now. If that same thing happens with 360 Buckhammer then it’ll likely stick around. It’s still a little new and risky to buy, as it might fail…but it’s also a lever gun hunting cartridge. So if you bought the gun and it shoots the available ammunition well, buy a bunch of boxes and don’t worry about it.
@@scotteger6271 All very true. I reload so if a cartridge doesn't become all that popular its not much of an issue except for the brass. If I can make the brass from something else that too is solved. My point is that I like to see a variety of cartridges for anyone to pick from. If a particular cartridge doesn't get popular enough it dies in the general public’s eye and eventually is discontinued. I like to see innovation in both guns and ammo. Unfortunately, we have a huge percentage of the shooting world that would much rather have 3 calibers to do most everything. a 5.56 rifle for most and a 7.62 X 51 (.308 Win) to hunt larger game + a 9mm pistol. While I like and own several of these I also have a great many other calibers I enjoy shooting.
@@frankbrowning328 I don’t disagree with any of what you’re saying. The thing with cartridges like 350 legend, 400 legend and now potentially 360 Buckhammer, is that they were designed with a specific purpose in mind…state regulations/limitations on cartridges for hunting. The 350 and 400 Legend will be for those that want an inexpensive bolt action or possibly an AR…the Buckhammer is for lever guns…it just remains to be seen which states allow it…that will really dictate its success. Also, if a state like Illinois allows it, Henry would be smart to offer their single shot chambered in it, to cater to that particular states even more restrictive laws.
Not sure why everyone is saying 360 won’t catch on. I got a buck with mine this season and would say it’s a fantastic round.
Agreed!
I do have to say, the knees and repositioning made me laugh. Kudos to you for choosing to do the commenting in that position for that long. I doubt that I could have and would have likely started cussing. I do understand that having the rub in the background was part of it and made for a great shot. I love the work you put into this video. So I use Davinci Resolve for editing, but I have not seen nor learned the trick of taking a section (like the targets) and zooming in and repositioning them as an overlay. That was some awesome work and I appreciate the time it took to do that. I was hoping to see and waiting for the pumpkins, but I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer. Thanks for the video, congrats on the deer and I hope your pond project is complete now. Catch you on the next one. (Oh, one other thing - IL changed their rule this year to the straight wall cartridge can only be from a single shot rifle - what a crock)
Thanks for the comment! If you would like to know more about that DaVinci Resolve "trick", email me.
My state of Ohio went from slug to the straight wall cartridges. I don't hunt anymore at my age but i love the 450 bushmaster.
You can still run a slug gun alot of guys I hunt with still pick them 9ver a straight wall same with me
@@waynemayle865 my dad got all his deer with a pump 410. I sure miss him.
@@cliff8680 heck yeah buddy miss mine too
I love your non biased educated opinions on shooting and especially the lever guns. Being a die hard lever man for years I’ve always been biased to the JM marlin and the pre 64 Winchester. Never been led to the Henry really so you gentlemen that give honest reviews keep it up and I might have to dabble in the market a little. Keep up the good work sir!
Thanks. I appreciate your comment!
If I ever buy property in one of the straight wall states then I am getting a 360 Buckhammer! Cool rifle for sure. 😎
It's a great cartridge for sure.
... that Henry is a nice looking/shooting gun ... glad Henry finally realized the customers are always right and caved on adding the receiver loading gate ... it was an uphill battle ... I bet sales increased accordingly once the receiver loading gate was available on the Henry rifles
Henry makes a fantastic rifle. Excellent explanation of the place this round & rifle holds. Thank you Sir.
That rifle looks very sharp. 360BH looks very nice from everything I've watched and read. I like how traditional the cartridge looks. The LGS told me they expect these "next year". No ammo on the shelves, not even at Walmart. George, could you maybe do a video on lever action scopes and mounting? I am new to optics but they are certainly a strong "nice have" for hunting. I see a lot of "compact" scopes with no expanded aperture, which look like a typical LPVO, but I'm not sure if they are the regular LPVO or if there's a purpose-built lever-action scope format. I guess it's logical that the eye relief and mounting height would favor a dedicated form factor. Not needing a cheek riser is also nice, although on a 45-70 anything that softens the impact is good. Thank you in advance.
Good to hear from you again.
I always enjoy your videos.
Good to see that you are still out there hunting.
I had to give it up a few years ago due to health issues.
May I suggest that your viewers be sure to stock up on their hunting caliber ammo.
It is looking like another shortage may be coming our way.
No need to have 1,000 rounds of hunting ammo but get what you will need for the next few years, while you still can.
Dang George , Henry makes a great looking and shooting rifle. I wish i could get more than I have, maybe one day after i hit the lottery. That buckhammer seems like it's got some juice.
It does have plenty of juice. Folks up north have used it to shoot moose back in the day. It's all about that heavy 35 caliber, actually 36 caliber rounded up, projectile.
There's nothing wrong with the cartridge, what's wrong is the legislation spawning it's creation.
Yep.
You obviously don’t live in a farm state with only rolling hills where a high velocity bullets can travel miles with nothing to stop it and in the days where those regulations were written there were often four or more farm residences on every square mile. When I lived in Iowa over fifty years ago it was shotguns only with slugs. 5he currently changing regulations are because with highly mechanized farming today there are relatively few residences on those open lands and the good ol’ boys in the state legislatures want to start using the same rifles they do on their out of state hunting trips.😂 With that said now there are really only a few states that require a straight walled cartridge with a minimum or maximum length. When they started allowing straight walled cartridges Iowa allowed 45-70 and 444 Marlin even though they exceeded the maximum length rule. Today Iowa no longer requires truly straight walled case. There is still a minimum 0.350” bullet diameter in cartridges with a published muzzle energy of 500 ft pounds in both rifles and hand guns. The maximum bullet diameter is 0.500”. They have a published list of some, but not all the cartridges that meet their specifications including 35 Whelen, 444 Marlin, 45-70 and many others. No magazine capacity limit or type of action restriction. 35 Remington is not on the list but easily meets the requirements with others such as 358 Winchester. If you want to use 358 Norma Magnum or 50 BMG you’re good to go. If you want to use your 30-06, 30-30 Winchester, 32 Winchester special, 243 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor you’re SOL. Indiana now allows only the small straight walled cartridges with maximum length on public land but about anything you can name on private property. I think Minnesota has different requirements in different zones. As of January 1, 2023 the Communist State of Illinois began allowing single shot rifles with bottle neck centerfire cartridges 30 caliber or larger with case length not exceeding one and two-fifths inches OR straight wall cartridges cartridges 30 caliber or larger. Both must have a minimum 500 ft lbs muzzle energy. Not going to be many Henry 360 Buckhammer sold there. Ohio allows any straight wall cartridge from .357 to .50. For those states that have the maximum straight wall length the Henry with the 360 Buckhammer will work fine if you can afford the rifle and find ammunition. For those others you might as well find a used 336 Marlin in 35 Remington for half the price. The Hornady LeverEvolution 35 Remington is going to shoot flatter and extend the range of the 35 Remington a good 50 yards or more over the Remington round nose Core Lokt . Remington is notorious for not meeting their published velocities. I lived and hunted deer in Mississippi, Iowa and now Kansas where we can hunt deer with any centerfire rifle.
@@davewinter2688 The regulations have nothing to do with safety. The straight-wall rule is actually a loosening of muzzleloader season into "primitive" weapon season. Virtually all of the states which have a straight-wall rule have an open rifle season when you can use anything.
IMO they should get rid of the exemptions and just have a strict muzzleloader/black powder season, with no modern stuff allowed.
@@phillycheesetake You obviously don’t read very well or pay attention to what you’re reading. The subject of my comment was straight wall cartridges for deer in the upper mid west. I lived in Iowa and have followed the legislature for many years. If you look at many state DNR official websites you will see that the restrictions to shotguns only was because of population density, which is or was a safety concern. The only two states that I know of that allow the use of 35 Whelen and maybe some other cartridges in single shot rifles with exposed hammers are Louisiana and Mississippi during what they call their primitive hunting seasons. I do find that odd as I would never call a single shot rifle firing those cartridges a primitive weapon. Where I live now in Kansas we have very distinct separate bow only and muzzle loader only deer seasons. There is no so-called primitive weapons deer season. We can use long bows, recurve, compound or crossbows. Traditional or in line muzzle loader are allowed during those seasons. Muzzle loaders may be used during the regular firearms season if you have a regular firearms permit or unfilled muzzle loader permit from that season. There is overlap of the bow and muzzle loading season. As it works out, bows can be used during any of those seasons. We used to not allow scopes on muzzle loaders but I think that has changed. As a traditional muzzle loading hunter (Thomson Center 54 caliber Renegade) I don’t even consider the in line muzzle loaders as primitive weapons. You are right that it should be at least muzzle loaders only instead of that ridiculous “primative” season, but I was born in Mississippi and know how the Mississippi legislature works!
@@davewinter2688 What?
Good show George keep them coming.👍😃✌️🇺🇸💪
I live in one of the Midwest states with straight wall cartridges. The only problem I see is that the 350 legend was the first one to be mainstreamed and I think a lot of people are still on the 350 train.
So unfortunately the 360 probably won’t be as remembered just like the 400 legend and 450 bushmaster. I see a lot of 45-70 and 350 legends. Not much else.
I’ve stuck with the 44 mag and the new marlins have caught my eye!
Great comment. The only problem with the 350 Legend is that it will not function in a lever gun. And, that is where the 360 Buckhammer comes in.
I agree with, I'm amazed that no other manufacturers are making 360's so makes me wonder how long this will be on the market or how popular it will become, I just bought a 350 legend as I'm in il.
the 350 is on the way out, the 360 BH will be a slow burn with 35 cal dudes jumping on board
Thanks for another nice video, George.
You are welcome! Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!
Hi George, congrats on the two deer! That 360 looks to be a great brush round. I love how the levers on the Henry's cycle so smooth. Been a big Henry fun for years. I think your stunt double needs a raise. You'd have to get a crane to get me off my knees like that! HE hehehehe. Hope y'all had a great thanksgiving
Great to hear from you Terry. You were the first to support me on patreon and remain one of my most loyal viewers! Thank you!
Hi from Pennsylvania buddy Jeff. I work for the Pennsylvania game commission. Today I took my grandpa's 1894 to work and we each fired 1 round to celebrate Christmas. It was made in 1909 30 wcf. 24" octagon barrel. I hope he heard it in heaven. I'm here to say they do not make them like that any more. It was my first deer rifle. I shot and 8 pt buck with it. I'm glad Pennsylvania is a fun toating state.
i been a 35 rem guy forever, I am excited about the 360 so I can use it in my straight wall area. always had to go up north to use the 35. henry is a great rifle as well.
That is an awesome video George. I know you are also a big fan of the 44, and now that you have hunting experience with both, which do you prefer for your needs?
It’s all about shot placement . Here in Illinois they let us for the first time use a rifle but single shot or we have to modify a level action so it will only hold one in the chamber . More control from the dem’s I went with a 350 . Great video 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks!
Great review as all of yours are. Thanks
Thanks!
Nice rifle George! Merry Christmas to you and your family from sunny Florida.
Merry Christmas to you as well!
Nice video, thank you. As I am getting into Cowboy Action Shooting, there are lots of folks that ask if the Henry rifles can be used for CAS. Often the response is, " Yes, but not if you are serious about doing well." Why? The lever action may be smooth but, nowhere near the "slick action" of the Winchester 1866, 1873 or 1892. The Marlin can also be made "slick". The next issue is capacity. You need 10 rounds to shoot a stage. Most Henry rifles hold less than 10 rounds. I did use my Henry Big Boy .357 Mag when I started but, had to reload a couple rounds to complete the stage which take more time. The big Buckhorn sights are also not good for CAS. Now, saying all that, I would like to see the rifle that Henry has produced for Cowboy Action Shooting, H012M41. Steel, 20" barrel, .41 Mag nice unit so that may work. They also make the 1860 which works for re-enactments but I've not seen anyone use it in CAS. Hopefully, they will send you a couple to show and tell!
Thank you for sharing. Take care
Thanks for watching!
Been waiting for this one. read up on the ammo and it sounds like a real performer. Out of all the rifles I have shouldered, Henry Big Boys come up the best with their open sights. I can close my eyes, bring the rifle up, open my eyes and the sights are aligned. I tried it with the 30-30, the 35 Remington and a Buckhammer, always the same. Might have to show that bark scraper the pointy end of a 99 308. Excellent video.
Thanks, Mark! I'd love to show that buck scraper as you call him the pointy end of that beautiful Savage!
Interesting to see you cycle those bullets multiple times without them getting roughed up. I have a very nice 1911 that just doesn’t like hollow points. Chews them up but round nose is fine.
Great video. That Henry is a sweet rifle.
Amen!
Great video!
Thanks!
Outstanding review! You addressed and answered most questions about that caliber and gun. Looking forward to more content on that gun/ caliber.
Btw: That is a great looking knife in the picture with the deer.
I would love to see some lever gun hunting videos!
Maybe someday. But self filming a successful hunt well, it's almost an oxymoron.
i have been looking high and low to get my hands on that exact same rifle, they are gone as fast as the gunshops get them in, i want to be a bit different than my boys who have the .350 legend and .450 busgmaster, great little video and now the hunt is on even more to get my paws on one of these!
Good luck on your search!
i got my hands on my new .360 buckhammer, i call him "hammering hank"
well low and behold i got my christmas wish!!! i was able to get my grubby mitts on the new .360 henry buckhammer!!! with walnut as i wanted!!!!! GOD is good!
We're looking forward to your next video...
Adding a loading gate just makes sense and actually gave the Henry a lot more appeal for me. The Long Ranger and Homesteader are still a bad joke that remind me of the plethora of failed Winchester ideas.
Thanks for your comment. I actually like the homesteader. They sent one along with this 360 Buck hammer and we have had a lot of fun shooting it. I think one of the big draws for us is that it is a traditional design that shoots a really cheap Centerfire pistol cartridge. I'll be making a video with that here fairly soon.
Thanks for the video
The 360 BH operates at pressures similar to the 356 Winchester
Man what a rub!!
Yes! I'd like to meet that monster one day.
The tube unload is awesome. Thats the way I do mine
Love that old Advantage camo
That's awesome! I wondered if anybody would recognize that old pattern. It's still my favorite!
Thanks George
Nice real world expansion on that recovered bullet!
Thanks, George.
I'm going to defer to you, the .35 Remington expert of record, for this. I don't own or shoot either a .35 Remington or a .360 BH, but my initial response was:
It duplicates (or exceeds) the .35 Remington performance, it complies with various states' "straight wall case under 1.8 in. case length" hunting regulations AND will be more reliable in tube magazine lever action rifles.
Rimless cartridges just are not ideal for reliable functioning in tube magazine lever rifles. Rimless cases are fine in box magazine lever guns (Savage 99, Winchester 1895, Browning BLR).
I'm not aware of any other rimless cartridge chambered in tube magazine lever guns. (the .450 Marlin is belted) Winchester even put rims on its 7-30, .307 and .356 WCF cartridges. The .35 Remington was initially developed for the box magazine Remington Model 8 semi-auto to compete with the .35 Winchester. Marlin later adapted it to their lever action.
I think Henry is wise to have BOTH forms of loading/unloading, tube and gate. You can unload more safely, as you demonstrated, AND the rifle can still be topped off with one or two rounds without disabling the rifle AND while keeping it pointed in a safe direction.
I'll be glad to see your real world comparison video of the two.
Nice video thank you.
You are welcome. Thanks for stopping by.
I'm in the Buckeye state. We have the straight wall restriction.
👍
I haven't hunter dear in 20 years so I don't know if Michigan allows these straight wall rounds. In southern Michigan you were allowed only shotguns, buck or slug, and muzzle loaders. The reason for this was population density. They didn't want you cutting loose with a .270 or 7mag. This does make sense.
As always, a good objective video George. 👍🏻
Living in northern NYS, I can legally use anything from 25ACP to 50BMG and more. Centerfire and larger than 22 cal is what game regs call for here.
That said, while I don't have a need for the 360BH, I do see the legitimate purpose for it and I applaud Henry and Remington for bringing it to market. It puts up some very respectable numbers for it's short case length. I maybe end up with one at some point even if I don't need one, lol!
Thank you, Joe. I appreciate your comment!
boy, that checkering is nice.
Yes. It really is!
Okay almost there now they need to combine the 360 buck hammer with the 350 legend. 360 buck hammer with a 350 legend case this way the cartridge will have 357 projectiles with the convenience of a modern case. I have no idea why this hasn’t happened yet
I appreciate a good leaver gun. I have several Winchesters from 3030, 44Mag and 32 Winchester Special. I do like that Henry 360 Buckhammer and Henry in general. I just watched your video of 2 years ago about the pre and post 64 model 94. I appreciate that you have 32. I have my grandfathers 32 Winchester special. I'm certain that it's pre 64, but now I know how to tell from watching your video.
been waiting for the single shot 360 buckhammer.... thats the one i want.
That lpvo is fine. Reminds me back in the day of the Redfield and couple other brands fixed 4power scopes that looked like a modern lpvo. They were popular just not as popular as a 3x9..
The other thing that was popular especially on the lever guns was those slanted cut weaver see thru mounts. They look good and let's you of course use your irons. You should get you a set. Will look good on your Henry
I've got a set of those that came on a rifle I bought. Never cared for the look. But, that's just a matter of taste.
@@TargetSuite Luke you said it's what you like. I personally like them because of the open site advantage of being in the woods. Back in the day you didn't seen many lever guns with scopes without one especially with the fixed power scopes so when I see one without them it don't look right. Lol.
At least with a lpvo you got the single power and 2x for close in.
As always no offense my friend
None taken😉
Another great video George Thanks for the info on the email you sent me. I have decided to create another channel like you suggested. The challenge now is the name. Here are some thoughts Chris Evans farm life and Chris Evans Badlands Ballistics. Looks like you had a fun deer hunt. Keep up the good work Let me your thoughts about the name changes
Will do. I've got some ideas 😉
Boy that's one nice buck rubbing on that tree in your video I'd like to see a picture of him
Hope you are doing well. A lot of bad weather & bad viruses making the rounds so hope all that has missed you & Family. Take care & stay safe. 🙏👍🎯
Thanks Bill. I appreciate that. We are doing great but did go through a round of some strange virus. I just got back from Shot Show and it was a home run. Lots of new contacts and fun stuff to show to you guys. I hope to get back on track here in the next week or so with consistent video uploads. I appreciate you hanging with me!
@@TargetSuiteMaybe some of those new levers including the tactical ones follow you home? 😂 Shot Show had some desirable tools. 🙏👍
In my neck of the woods, I completely understand using straight wall cartridges. I live in a part of Ohio where people lived spaced apart but close enough where (some) necked cartridges can carry unnecessary risk. However, much of the southern portion and other portions of the state has no need for such a restriction. I really wish it was left to the individual counties. Since the law is state level, they don't have the opportunity to decide for themselves.
I really appreciate your perspective. Thanks!
Question: are conventional rifles of any caliber legal for other game, i.e. coyotes, pigs? Just looked it up, well, yes they are! So it's not about safety! Think of a stray 45-70, 444 Marlin or 450 Bushmaster, maybe a 50 Beowulf - are they really going to be safer than a 30-30?
Here in Michigan, roughly the southern half of the mitten is restricted. In the other 2 hunting zones you can pretty much use what you want. More stupid rules from the powers that be. That said, I may get one being I like levers and I want another Henry.
Outstanding !! Great review. Have to say that is one gorgeous rifle. You did such a great review I'm thinking Henry should award you that rifle ! Two things: 1) do you know what the MSRP is or what they are off the shelf? 2) I would darken the mag tube to blend in with the barrel blue. Just too much brass showing for me.
Good morning, Max! I really appreciate your comment. As with all lever guns, this Henry has gone up in price. The drive out is going to be somewhere around $1,000. And by the way, they did give me that rifle. But, and you know me well enough to know this is true, that did not change my review in any way.
@@TargetSuite Absolutely. A godly man such as yourself would never defraud the brethren over such a trivial matter or any matter actually. Grace to you and family.
Be safe Brother! I'm more interested in the tree than I am the cartridge or the weapon. We go through six million primers daily. Sometimes colors vary slightly.
Straight wall restrictions are silly. They are just as flat as 30-30. And other centerfire cartridges don’t shoot for miles. On flat ground, high powered cartridge will drop nearly the height of a man at 500 yards. Basically 250 yards more range than straight walls, muzzle loaders and shotguns. That’s in open area. In area with more cover, nothing is shooting through trees and brush. Knowing your target and what is beyond it, is way more important than cartridge selection.
Good looking round but i think they are trying to reinvent the wheel here. I have a rem 760 35 rem that will do the same thing or even better with handloads.
That is a great rifle cartridge combination you have there. But there's about a million hunters in those midwest states that can't use that package by law. Therein lies the justification for the 360 Buck hammer in a lever gun
I’d like to have one. Have seen them with the plastic stock but I’m not a fan. Wood looks good.
I have load data for .35 Remington using 220 gr bullet. Since 360bhmr has lower case capacity than.35rem I doubt they would use that heavy bullet. Versatility goes to.35 rem. Load data I have seen used fast burning powder and magnum primers for the 360 upping the pressures 45k+ psi. The 35rem limit is 35k.
I gotta say, you seem like the kind of guy I could sit and talk to about lever actions for hours! I know it sounds like I dislike the new .360, but that's not the case. I love almost all cartridges. What I dislike is the thought of Remington/Henry effectively killing off one of my all time favorite gun/cartridge combos in the Marlin 336/.35 Remington. I'm still saddened by the passing of the .444 as well. I know now why my grandfather was so mad when I bought my .375 Model 94xtr back in the 80's, and my .356 about a year later. And even though I've still got them and have amassed quite a lever gun collection.....I still always go back to the .35 he bought me when hunting season rolls around.
That's a nice comment. Thanks!
Awsome. Video. I think this is a good cartridge. But ill keep my 30-30. Because that is what i have.😊
Nice looking rig there, George. What scope did you top it with? Personally, I’ve stockpiled enough 35 Remington brass for my grandkids to never run out, so I think I’ll stay with my 35. But that 360 sure fills the bill for a lever gun caliber in the straight wall only states.
That is a Leupold Freedom 1.5x4. It gets me to last legal shooting light. Like you, I've got enough 35 Rem brass to keep me and/or my progeny going for decades.
Yep
Here's my question about the 360 buckhammer is it a new brush gun that can go the distance or is it a flop?
At least it has a straight grip stock and not the pistol grip stock. The straight stock, to me, has a better lever throw than any of the pistol grips of my Marlins.
With regard to straight wall cartridge hunting restrictions, Iowa allows use of both 358 Winchester, and 35 Whelen as "straight wall" cartridges. I would imagine someone will lobby them to add the 35 Remington as well.
That would be nice. Thanks for the info!
Hi I am Kurt, what about the scope on that 360, I am lacking in knowledge of the newer ones. Thanks
I love that 'other guy' 😂
Haha!
Another great review on a fine rifle. Now, go find that deer!
I know. It's giving me something to look forward to for sure. Great hearing from you Keith.
I wish the legislation would change. I saw that Iowa allowed cartridges such as the .35 Whelen finally.
Michigan is rifle in the northern half of the state and Upper Peninsula shotgun and pistol cartridge in the lower half , 360 might be a good rifle for hunting the corn
👍
Don't forget about certain parts of Maryland.
I was wondering what Leopold scope you have on your rifle
Congrats on both of those deer! What scope setup are you using on that Henry?
That is a Leupold Freedom 1.5 X4 scope. Perfect for the deer woods.
@@TargetSuite thanks for the info, I’ll setup my Miruku Model 94 in 30-30 Winchester same then. Love your content, God bless!
Looks like a fantastic rifle. As for your knees, maybe grab a chair for the next one, my old knees ache just watching you adjust positions! I feel for you, brother! 😩
Hope everything is ok, missing your videos.
You ever come thru illinois? Just picked up first rifle model 94 man. 74 i need some history and some shooting lessons!!
I went to Chicago one time a long time ago on business. I got to see a game at Wrigley field. A memory I'll never forget.
What brand of glass do you have mounted on this .360
Have you seen the new Winchester lever-action model 1854 44 Mag videos that are popping up all over TH-cam? Hmmm...🤔
Which Leopold scope do you have on this rifle?
What model Leupold scope and what height for rings?
Which scope and mount are you using?
If I lived in one of those states i would move!
What scope did you add?
why don't they let hunters use bottle nose cartridges in some states???
Politicians
I like the Henry rifle . I'm not a fan of new specialty cartridges. The 360 Buckhammers performance comes from the very high pressures it is loaded to. A Henry in 357 magnum is what I have my eye on.
Now lets convince New Jersey, Rhode Island and Massachusetts...
Interressant 😊👍
Thanks for watching!
I'd like to see the Model 88 Winchester be reintroduced.
Amen!
me parece un calibre interesante, pero veo que los cañones no bajan de 22 pulgadas, imagino que tratan de mantener el coheficiente balistico.
Congrats, George! Now that you've smoked those deer, you're going to have to smoke those deer! :))
Does the Henry feel clunky to you compared to the Marlin?
A different "feel" for sure.
Wonder how the 360 would compare to a 444? Does anyone still make a 444?
No one is currently making one. Ruger/Marlin has said they will be in the future, they are trying to catch up with demand for .30-30s, .45-70s, .44 Magnums and .357 Magnum carbines.
Winchester made the Model 94 "Big Bore" in .444 Marlin from 1998 until 2003.
There are used rifles available. Marlins are more plentiful and lower priced.
The feature of unloading from the tube poses a major problem in safety. Never take your hand over the end of the barrel. That would be a mess!
You see in this video of a live round being ejected after the tube was pulled out.
When the hammer is down on these Henrys, the round can't fire. Plus there's a way to turn that knob without exposing your hand. In my mind these are even safer than the half-cock safety position. It's a similar concept to a revolver transfer safety bar.

What's your preferred meat product with venison? Any sausage or jerky? Just go with steaks?
Nice hunts. I've wondered how the .360BH would compare to .35 Remington, seeing they both run the same caliber bullet. It's unfortunate that these anti-2A regs exist in the first place. I'm in an upper mid-western State and the northern half of the State allows rifle while the southern half only allows shotgun slug, muzzleloader, and handgun greater than .220 caliber. We also cannot allow pistols like Ruger Wrangler and Heritage Rough Rider due to material melting point temperatures (Saturday Night Special laws). There was an attempt at eliminating the shotgun zone law but a DEMOCRAT CRIED about it, and it remains.
I personally like steaks pounded flat and chicken fried. Everyone else in the family likes jerky.
You did not mention the .350 legend...
Having a straight wall case that headspaces on the case mouth (and can't be crimped), the 350 Legend is not a lever gun cartridge.
