If it's a Henry, I'm in.

I believe the 360 as a straight walled cartridge was designed to be allowed for use in some northern states like Ohio that now allows straight walled rifle cartridges.
Hard to beat anything made by Henry!

I watch "Who_Tee_Who" on YouTube and he has some videos with it. Kills a deer with it too if you're interested in checking it out.
Thank you
So if they allow straight wall weapon in muzzle load who is jumping in lol.
it will depend on the wording if they change it regulations. I will not buy a new gun just for that season but I will definitely participate if something I have fits the bill.
As for the 360 buck hammer I don't know much about it but if Henry was to ever make a left handed lever action I would get one for my son in 360.
I won't buy one for muzzle season for that reason either. I just heard about that gun today and don't have a lever action weapon.
It is a very good looking weapon. I am doing research on it lol.
I was kinda stirring the pot on the muzzle load season, lol.

Winchester beat Remington to the punch again with the 350 legend. Over time, this has happened several times and the Remington tends to die out. Only time will tell.
Really similar to 350 legend ballistically, inside 100 yards the buckhammer has the edge but at 100 yards and farther the legend catches up. The main difference with the buckhammer, is it's a rimmed cartridge which makes better suited for lever actions.

I looked at it and wow what an amazing rifle. Henry's are definitely a piece of craftsmanship 110%. Love the case hardened model they are offering the BHMR in too…but for $1000 ehhhh I had to pass. Maybe one day in the future when I'm a little better off. Now their .22's is a different story. Anyway,
The ballistics didn't impress me that much either when compared to say 30-30,350 Leg and the like. Now I get it's straight walled for muzzleloader season but honestly I couldn't see myself picking it over my cva (bergara barrel) for under 200yds in these east tenn woods. Heck,I find myself carrying my muzzy to the woods during rifle. They don't move much out of their tracks when 250gr hits em.

200 yards? My 44 mag is good to about a 100 yards. And that's probably one of the big reasons the state is looking at legalizing straight wall cartridges. Just my opinion.
I will still hunt with my muzzle load, I am just looking for a lever I want. I like the Marlin in the 308MLXR but at the prices they want for a used one no thanks.

Just another "trendy" round. Held one at Bass Pro few days ago. Solid, well built gun, but $1000+ dollars is insane. I'll stick with my 94 Win. 44 mag.

So the TN Fish and Wildlife Commission is really considering legalizing straight walls for muzzleloader season? I need to start paying attention more!
That's the rumor. I can't confirm it though
TWRA officially solicited input on it, and included it in their "public meeting", so yeah, it's kind of a thing. Not just a rumor.
Ballistics of .360 Buck Hammer are close to .35 Remington
IMO Remington should have re-released the 357 Maximum as soon as the straight wall craze hit.

EastTNHunter, thanks for the info.
Guess I shouldn't be surprised but what do straight walls have to do with muzzleloading season? If the commission is considering allowing something besides muzzleloaders in muzzleloader season they need to look at what MS did. It's always been called "Primitive Weapon Season" down there so when they decided to add single shot exposed hammer rifles of certain older cartridges, at least it wasn't silly. You don't see the words "straight wall cartridge" in the MS primitive weapon description, though, because that consideration is for yankee states where they previously didn't allow anything but muzzleloaders or shotguns….which has absolutely NOTHING to do with how our seasons in the south are set up!

Mississippi primitive season is single shot. How does a lever gun get in this discussion?
It's more about the cartridge than the action, if they allow the cartridge, might as well allow any action imo.

That was exactly my point. I only brought up the case of MS because they also changed their season to include firearms other than muzzleloaders, but straight wall had nothing to do with it.
Try to follow my thinking. Am I wrong to guess that 99% of TN whitetails are killed inside of 150 yds? Well, am I alone in thinking that efficiency of weapon and pressure on the deer have been the major considerations by which our weapon specific deer seasons in the south have been set? So MS decided that single shot weapons with rainbow trajectories were primitive enough. Anyhow, if I'm in the ballpark in my understanding of the impact of weapons allowed for each season and TN decides to allow straight wall cartridge repeaters, whether lever or semi-automatic, they absolutely might as well just open the gun season two weeks sooner.
EDIT: Please complete my concluding sentence above with "…which to be Captain Obvious, NO, I do not want."

They are considering it
Just out of curiosity, but I wonder if they are considering single shot only?
I will have to go back in look on the survey I said no to straight wall.

Waiting on cva to offer the .360 in their scout model.
I hear tell the .360 BKHMR is the hottest thing Remington has offered since the .35
