The largest EVER made was a 2 gauge. It holds a 2 pound metal ball, if I remember correctly.
According the gauge index, a 2 gauge shotgun would hold two half pound balls since the diameter of the shotgun tube determines the gauge, the number of balls to equal a pound going down the barrel in this case would only be two to make a pound. Whereas in a 12 gauge, it takes twelve lead balls of the barrel size to make a pound. A two pound meal ball going down the tube would make for a .5 gauge.
No. There are, however, .22 caliber shotshells made for rifles.
The 410 Shotgun is really .410 Caliber. Unlike all other sizes of shotgun, (10,12,16,20,28gauge), the 410 is measured in caliber. I believe it works out to something like 36 gauge. So the 410 shotgun is .41 Caliber
The .950 JD Jones is the largest sporting rifle caliber made.
Who made it, what caliber is it, is it a rifle, shotgun or hadgun, how long is the barrel, is the barrel round or octagon, what is the stock made out of, what is the serial number(if any)?

A 410 shotgun is basically a 41 caliber smoothbore. A 45 caliber round may fit in the chamber, but the bullet is too big. Don't do it.
Yes. The Mossberg 500A1 is a .12 gauge shotgun.
Shotguns are refered to by "gauge" not "caliber". It should be marked on the barrel.
10 gauge
I believe the largest Pistol caliber ever made would be the 577 Nitro Howda pistols used in the early 1900's to stop a tiger attack during safari in India _______________ Pfeifer-Zeliska makes a .600 Magnum.
None. While there are firearms made to shoot .45 Colt AND .410 shotshells, they are designed and made to do that. A regular .410 shotgun is NOT made to do that safely.
That's not a shotgun !!!!!!
ABOUT .72 caliber. I say about because the degree of choke on a shotgun changes the muzzle diameter.
