The .360 Buckhammer, also called 360 BHMR (9.1×46mmR), is a SAAMI-standardized[2] straight-walled rifle cartridge developed by Remington Arms Company.[3] The cartridge was designed for use in American states that have specific regulations for deer hunting with straight-walled centerfire cartridges.
