Historical question:
Why and when was the 2 7/8 started? My 2 5/8 was bored in September 1895? Was 2 7/8 available or in use at at that time?

I gotta take the easy shots to keep my average up

Here is an interesting article on the history of the 10 bore that answers your questions in a general fashion.
