If it's not marked, best thing to do is a chamber cast, then you'll have a good idea what it is, see bore slugging and chamber casting in the FAQs.

Can you tell us any more about the rifle, any markings on it at all, even if they appear cryptic to you, please let us know what they are. A picture would be nice also if you could manage that....<><....:)
