    Good question since the maximum powder charge and projectile tables have bore sizes listed by tenths of an inch. A 2.2 inch rifle maximum weight projectile is 44 ounces, and 2.3 inch is 50 ounces. It would appear from reading the table that the maximum weight for a 2.25 inch would be 47 ounces.
