I have a Daniel Fraser that is a .360 Takedown made for Holland & Holland.

It is marked .360 EX. I am trying to determine what cartridge this is so I can load for it. ...

From reading the Daniel Fraser book by Kirton, he claims that the .360 loaded by Fraser was his loading for the 9.3x57.

In orignal Fraser catalogs, Daniel Fraser is quoted as saying the .360 is the only suitable big bore/big game cartridge for a Mauser due to handling characteristics and weight. Alluding that it was indeed a big game cartridge and not the .360 2-1/4 which was a Antelope cartridge. ...

The gun is also marked for 35 grans of cordite, where 30 grains was the load for the .360 2-1/4 also nullifying that as well.

Have you researched the Fraser Velox (or 'ratchet')? I see that Huvius mentioned them above. Here is an image of one in .303, I don't know if there was a .360 Velox. It seems the Kirton book may be the place to find out.
