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

MacifejIf 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.

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

jimatcatpour the chambers with cerrosafe... and if it were a shotgun, wouldn't it have forcing cones ahead of the chambers???... what about rifling in 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.
