Lonoke, Arkansas – February 7, 2023 – Remington Ammunition is proud to announce that The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI) has announced the acceptance of the groundbreaking 360 Buckhammer as an official new cartridge.  

“The acceptance of cartridges by SAAMI is crucial in the process of making new loads legitimate for American hunters and shooters,” said Remington Senior Director of Engineering Jared Kutney. “Whitetail hunters needed a straight wall cartridge that functions flawlessly in a lever action rifle, and we’re thrilled to have 360 Buckhammer accepted by the high standards set by the organization.”
