I recently tried to register a Martini Henry single shot in .297/.250 and the gun shop refused to believe it and registered it as a .297/.230. The 5 or 3 was not easy to read. Anyway now it is officially a .230. I will slug the bore to see what the true calibre is ie a .250 or a .230.
If this rifle is yours, do you shoot it?
