No. Not only will accuracy be worse than a thrown rock, it is potentially dangerous. If the bullet moves forward before firing, it will leave an air space between the powder charge and the bullet. This is an established way to blow up a muzzleloader. Use the right sized bullet for your rifle.

Yes, but only if the bullet has the proper sabot. The sabot essentially acts as a spacer between the bullet and barrel. This is commonly done to drive lighter bullets to higher velocities, but the longer of two bullets, weighing the same, tends to be more stable as well.

Can a 54 caliber shoot 50 caliber?

I havenever heard of a .54 cal but no, a bullet that will not stay in place for the striking pin will not fire, DO NOT TRY IT, if by some off chance that the striking pin hits the firing cap then the bullet has already started its trajectory at an angle and will probably damage the gun and yourself, it will be hard to find but you may be able to find a a saboe for that caliber, but you may just want to go buy some .54 cal ammo...
