A question for the Daniel Fraser experts. Caliber specific.
02/09/18 09:25 PM

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. So far I have been told that it is the .360 2-1/4 which does not make any sense, here is why:

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.

Bell when he was in the Yukon shot something of 1000 moose with a Fraser in .360, once again making the case that it is indeed the 9.3x57 load and not the 1/4.

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.

Any opinions would be appreciated. Pictures of the markings can be seen in the post linked below.
