I have had this rifle for a number of years but haven't worked on loading for it as the mold I have which makes a lovely original style heeled bullet was a bit too big for this particular rifle. The 360 No.5s are notoriously all over the place on bore dimensions. My recent work on a load for my 360 2-1/4" got me thinking that a lighter paper patched .366" bullet could work in this rifle. I swaged some 150gr bullets and loaded them over 16grs fff black powder. They certainly look handsome. ![]() They clocked at about 890fps which is off of original velocities but they shot well enough to hit a 2L bottle at 100yds. There is room to compress a bit more powder in the case so will see how that works next. ![]() ![]() You can just see the top of the bottle explode as the bullet hits the bank in this picture. ![]() |
