Question:
If the new 360 Buck Hammer cartridge can push a 358 bullet out of a lever action at 2400 fps,
then why can’t the same lever action achieve the same velocity with the 35 Remington cartridge?
1.800 max pistol case length aside, this extra velocity is the only reason the buck hammer excels over the time proven 35 Remington. Jmho
What am I missing here?
Edit:::;;But I guess I didn’t ask the question correctly.
If the 360 buck hammer is rated 50,000 psi chamber pressure, then why can’t the 35 Remington be rated at the same at the same pressure if is used in the same lever action?
I thought the chamber pressures of the lever action locking mechanism was the limiting factor.
But I see now the same action is supporting 50,000 psi instead of just 33,000 for the 35 Rem?
I’m confused
