Which one ? All similar to the one Mike posted above. Bullet weight changes between the 3. A min of 3 different one's. William Evans, Purdey and one other. Can't remember the bullet weights / loads. In general, a hog / deer calibre. | |||

william Evans, very similar to the one offered by cabelas in Texas. It is an ejector rifle with most of the original finish and casehardening. It has 26" barrels I think are chopper lump barrels. How hard to load for, ie, how hard are components for this rifle??? square shooter | |||

The most common one. I have one, it's a great little cartridge. . | |||

Westley Richards made the other one. NRA Life ASSRA Life DRSS Today's Quote: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.

Have you looked at Huntingtons, Buffalo Arms or elsewhere for supplies? NRA Life ASSRA Life DRSS Today's Quote: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.

Would you use it much in the same way you would a 9.3x74? Where would you find brass and load data. I am assuming that one could use standard .366 bullets for it?? square shooter | |||

I looked at two doubles One was the Evans and another a Manton. I Thought the Evans was in 360#2 but no the Manton is and the Evans is 400-360. The price was fair for both, I think but the evans really rocked me pretty well. I know the 360#2 is every bit as effective as the 375 flanged magnum, I just don't know the performance profile of the 400-360. There is an evans in good condition re-bored and reproofed for 9.3x74 from 360 2.75. more money but not oroginal condition. What do you think? square shooter | |||

NO - definitely not. 400/360 falls into the same category as 450/400's varying bore sizes. In fact, it is worse than the 450/400 in that all 3 had different bore sizes and then you have variations on each from here. 1. Slug bore, measure with a micrometer. 2. Slug IT AGAIN and Re measure. You may have to swage bullets up or down from .366. . | |||

Depends on whether you want a shooter or a collector item that shoots. BTW - The difference between the 360 No 2 and the 400/360 is huge, they are not comparable. . | |||

There seems to be a few Wm. Evans doubles in 400/360 around right now. Cabelas has the rechambered one and another which is original. Mike Schwandt has one which is IMO, the best deal of the guns I have seen - very tempting... As mentioned above, the three variations are the Westley Richards, Purdey and William Evans. I know the WR has a thicker rim than the Purdey, but not sure if the Evans case is the exact same as either. My guess is that it is the same as the Purdey with a different bullet weight and charge. Fraser also put out a 400/360 which used the Purdey brass with a lighter bullet of his "ratchet" design. I would love to hear more about the Manton though too. | |||

Huvius- The Evans at Schwandt does indeed look like a peach. Overall it looks like it could well be a sweet handling little rifle -- and ejectors too! Lots of rifle for the price, which looks to be a steal. Cheers Tinker _________________________________ Self appointed Colonel, DRSS | |||
