This was an Eley design dating from around 1905 and was made by shortening and necking the 450 3¼” case to 3”. The rimmed case was designed for double rifles and as such was a loaded to a lower pressure, and very few loadings to ensure the same point of impact from regulated double barrels. It was a popular rifle for a short period but not as powerful as the 375 H&H Flanged Magnum. The emergence also of quality magazine rifles like the belted 375 H&H meant that the 360 No. 2 became a collector piece and not part of the rifles travelling on safari.
