Seeing as I'm too lazy to to the math, 28 ga is .550; I would start looking in that range of cartriges.


"Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson.

If it's a well known English maker you could contact them and get the history on the rifle. I wouldn't screw around with shooting "whatever fits". Might damage the rifle or yourself.

Wouldn't there be some information stamped on the action, under the barrels?

I can shoot 28ga plastic shotshells cut short and reassembled to 2" in both my .577 Sniders. Although yours is probably a BPX something or another. Is it a single shot, double, break open, bolt, etc ???

Whoops. I'll have to assume it's a double since it's in the double rifle category.
