The .360 bore is one of the smallest shotgun bores. Its main uses included collecting ornithological specimens, pest control, as well as often being used in walking-stick guns.[1][failed verification] The .360 cartridge was first created by Eley Brothers Ltd, a company founded in 1828 in London. The cartridge never gained widespread popularity, since it offered little improvement over the cheaper 9mm (No. 3 Bore) rimfire, and the .410 was more powerful. Because of its limited use, it is rare to find today.[2]
