There used to be a few 360 No2's around some years back.
I had a Lang PHV1 Webley for a few years, back in the 90's.
There was a nice Gibbs screw grip Webley which I was lucky enough to shoot a couple of times, and I knew of a Webley and Scott as well.
Around the same time Saunders had a Manton listed for sale.
I remember hearing about another 360 No2 in the top end which could have been a Rigby. I never saw it but from memory it might have been a hammer gun.
I think most people who've used that cartridge have been happy with it.
I think the guy with the most hunting experience that I know of with the 360 No2 would be Dave L.

I had a Lang on the smaller frame for awhile. I also had a Wilkes two barrel set with a 360#2 and a 470.

The 360 is a nice cartridge but I prefer the 9.3 because of the handiness of the rifle. The Lang was a sweet rifle though. I met a guy in Sydney once who claimed he was shooting 286 grain bullets out of his #2 at 2500fps. I don't know and never saw the rifle but it would have been an interesting piece if it was a smaller frame.

This past September, I acquired a Joseph Lang BLE in .360 No.2 made in 1906. I killed several deer with it this past season and it was a joy to carry afield. This cartridge uses 9.3 (.366) diameter bullets which are easy to find. This guns service charge was "55 Grs. Cordite & 320 Grs. Nickel Covered Bullet". Jamison International (USA) is scheduled to make brass for this calibre in 2010.

Pato,
No problem.
Get some dies from RCBS and cases from Bertram and have at it.
I really like the 360 No.2. My Greener is a hoot to shoot and there are lots of bullets to choose from. I would really like a single shot in this chambering.
