HELP 360#2 brass
been looking for brass for 360#2. Seems bertram is all thats available. Does anyone know of another option? Can it be formed from another case?

You can form it from 450 straight.


It's not the easiest to form if you don't have
forming dies but can be done.


One thing - before you buy a whole heap of brass
check what Rim thickness you have.

I have seen a fair bit of variation in how the chambers were cut in regards to the rim and also, quite a few 360's were rim modified when
brass was not available (I think they went from thin to thick).

If you don't want to form, you don't have much choice.

But yes, it will do the job.

Don't buy 2nd's, make sure you get good stuff.

I would say you MIGHT have to modify the rims
to get them to fit your gun.


Buy 20 and see how you go and if good buy more ???

if you start with new, how many loads are you likely to get per case??? If you like shooting a lot, How many cases would you buy to insure adequate supply?

If you are going to take your .360 No.2 to Africa, it must by correctly head stamped. Thus, at this time, Bertram is the only answer. PM me if you wish info on fire forming the brass which is a must.

Friend, hunt up Huvius here. He shoots a Greener double in this fine chambering.


There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.

Qu 1 partly depends on your chambers and whether they are the same / similar. ie Once the brass is fired in one, can it be dropped
in the other.

How many time fired ?
If you can get away with NECK sizing only,
this will make a great diff to how many reloads.

I would get a min of 100, probably more once
you have worked out with a small batch that all is good.
