461 #2 Gibbs 2 ¾”
The .461 No 2 Gibbs, also known as the .461 No 2 Gibbs 2 ¾ inch, was based on the No 1 cartridge case with a lengthened neck. It fired either a 360 or a 570 gr bullet driven by 90 gr of powder.
Both cartridges were developed by Bristol gunmaker George Gibbs for use in his Gibbs–Farquharson–Metford single shot rifles built on the falling block action, although Gibbs also built double rifles with Metford barrels chambering these cartridges. The .461 No 1 Gibbs was designed around 1879–80, whilst the .461 No 2 Gibbs was designed around 1890.
Both cartridges were subsequently loaded with mild loadings of smokeless cordite carefully balanced to replicate the ballistics of the original black powder versions, to become the .461 No 1 Gibbs Nitro for Black and the .461 No 2 Gibbs Nitro for Black, but unlike other similar black powder cartridges of their era, neither became a Nitro Express cartridges.
