"The 400/360 Nitro Express (2.75" case) was introduced in the very early 1900s. Westley Richards, Fraser, and Evans versions have .358 to .360" diameter projectiles. The Purdey version used a .364 to .367" projectile. Westley Richards also made a rimless version."
I don’t think that is accurate.
The Fraser 360 I owned had a bore of .360” and I used regular .366” projectiles in it. There is no way it would have used a .358-.360” projectile.
I’ve owned that rifle, have a Manton 360 (WR case) as well as a Lang which uses the Purdey case and none use a bullet that small.
