Who's got a 360 2 1/4" BPE they shoot ?
I got a mould recently that I think is for a Paper Patch 360 2 1/4"
It throws a .365" 160 grain bullet with the original base plug
There is a longer and a shorter base plugs also.
So maybe a 140 and 180 grain option also.
It came with a rifle that when I checked the numbers it clearly isn't intended for
I have a 360 nitro for BP cape rifle close enough to 9.3x57r that I've resized brass for. Sadly I haven't been able to shoot it as the rifling twist requires 190 grain or less projectiles. This could be my lucky day
You woke up alive so that was a good start and it just keeps getting betterQuote:

A pulled projectile from an old cartridge. About 155 gr, express bullet, hollow nose with copper cap and flat base.

Kynoch load data.
Yeah it's much the same size as the 38-55 but shot a pretty light bullet
I guess it was just the Express rifle craze the british were into.
Got to be good for shooting something modestly sized like a Fallow or Roe deer.
The 38-55 with a bigger slower bullet still has more appeal to me.
The mould and accessories is on its way to @Marty Henry for a play.
Hopefully a paper patch bullet works for him.
I would have tried it in one of my 38-55s but already know they like Powder Coated 250 grain plus pure soft lead cast bullets
