Yes, i own a model 28 chp
The model 28 was made to fire the .357 magnum cartridge, but you can also fire the .38 special cartridge. The .38 special is lighter in recoil and easier on the pocket book than the powerful .357 magnum. Use .38 Special for practice, and .357 for a hunting or defense load.

Probably some type of assy mark.
I have a 12 ga 67F, 28" modified that I bought in a pawn shop in 1973. Still shoots great after thousands of rounds. I paid $65 for it then.
Thye smith&wesson model 28-2 was chambered for the .357 magnum cartridge.I would say Start with the one round that you and the gun shoot best.Then you can experiment on different weight bullet loads.You may also shoot standard .38 special loads in your model 28.
No. You can fire .38 Special (and .38 Special +P) in any .357 Magnum firearm, not .38 Auto. Do not attempt the reverse (firing .357 Magnum in a .38 Special firearm); the results will be disastrous. The .38 Auto does not have a rim large enough to hold it in a revolver's chamber, and the bullet is most likely not the correct diameter.
The Smith & Wesson Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman is a .357 Magnum revolver known for its durability and reliability, originally designed for law enforcement use. The gold hammer, trigger, and pin are distinctive features that can indicate a customized or special edition model. The mechanism that allows for changing ammunition typically refers to the revolver's cylinder release, which enables the shooter to eject spent casings and load fresh rounds. Overall, the Model 28-2 is highly regarded among collectors and enthusiasts for its performance and classic design.
It sounds like the question's incomplete. 63 percent of 28 is 17.64, which rounds to 17.6
In many (but not all) situations it was preferable simply for the amount of firepower it put out compared to muzzle loaded rifles which were more or less the standard issue. The Henry used metallic cartridges and was breech loaded, which allowed for much faster loading, and it held 16 cartridges, as opposed to one. It had a rate of fire of approximately 28 rounds per minute versus the two to three rounds per minute of the Springfield Model 1861.
If that's 28.2743 square units, it rounds to 28.
No. The Model 28 is a .357 Magnum.
