360 NE 21/4 or 9,3x57R/360 are the most likely culprits.
Ross Seyfried wrote a very good piece on them and the 38-55 in Handloader no.225 October 2003 called "Miniature Black Powder Express Cartridge"
Handloader October 2003 Go buy it if you don't have it - I think you'll enjoy it! There's loads, history and some really nice guns!
