It is for the 2 1/2" cartridge and is nitro proof. It's a light little gun so do go spoiling it with those heavy American loads. The standard load for this gun/cartridge combination is 9/16th. ounce. In very good condition and in 28 bore is a premium. It should be a delight to use with the proper ammo. Lagopus.....

If it was intended for 2 3/4" cartridges it would be marked 70mm instead of 65mm. Most British and Belgian 28 bores are made to shoot the light loads which is part of the joy of using a light gun. It will perform better with the light stuff and not put an undue strain on it. Lagopus.....

I know it is a little gem. Just trying to learn. It is part of the process no matter what I buy and I find this fascinating. I am collecting for two or three years and I have so much to learn. It is a bit overwhelming at times.
My scale measures .98kg and the barrel says 1Kg110 so converting I come up with approximately 4.6 ounces missing. That seems like a lot on a 28g. gun that has barrels that weigh a bit over 2 lbs. Maybe it had 28" barrels and there is 3" missing?
So many guns, so little time!

I would start to guess at 65cm for the length. For another exercise in mathematics you could find the center of each tube at the breech and measure the distance between the centers. Then find the center of the tubes at the muzzle and measure that distance. Then with the length along the top rib and with the diameter of each tube at the muzzle as well as inside wall thickness, project the inside of each tube until they intersect using similar triangles. This is all based on the thought that the tubes are concentric. I have no idea if it will work.

Is there a source for loading data for light loads? IMR, Hodgdon and Winchester all start at 3/4 oz. The lowest pressure is around 10,000psi at 1150fps.
