   Jun 23, 2016 · shotguns. The gauge of a shotgun was originally the number of round balls just big enough to fit the gun's bore that could be cast from 1 pound of lead. Thus 12 lead balls that fit a twelve-gauge shotgun would weigh 1 pound.

   Gauge	Bore Diameter Inches	Ball Diameter Inches
   1	1.669	1.649
   2	1.325	1.305
   3	1.157	1.137

   A 12-gauge shotgun, nominally 18.5 mm (0.73 in), can range from a tight 18 mm (0.71 in) to an extreme overbore of 20 mm (0.79 in). Some also claim an increased velocity with the overbored barrels, up to 15 m/s (49 ft/s), which is due to the larger swept volume of the overbored barrel.

   Gauge	Pounds	Mm	Inches

   Shotgun gauge is a measurement that defines the diameter of the shotgun's bore, or barrel. The lower the gauge of a shotgun, the smaller the diameter of the bore. So a 10 gauge shotgun has a much larger bore than a 28 gauge.

   Why is a 10 gauge shotgun bigger than a 12 gauge?

   • Well, this is also true with a 10 gauge (or 10 bore) ball compared to a 12 gauge (or 12 bore) round ball. In short, the smaller the gauge of a shotgun, the larger the bore diameter. This is why a 10 gauge shotgun has a larger diameter than a 12 gauge shotgun, which has a larger diameter than a 20 gauge shotgun, etc.

   What is the difference between 12 gauge and 20 gauge shotgun shells?

   • 12 and 20 gauge are by far the most commonly used shotgun gauges. For this reason, they are also the most likely to get mixed up. As you can see in the photo below comparing 12 gauge vs 20 gauge shells, 20 gauge shells are considerably smaller than 12 gauge shells. A 12 gauge shell won’t fit in a 20 gauge chamber because it’s too big.

   How much does a 12 round shotgun weigh?

   • A different way of saying the same thing would be to describe shotgun gauges in terms of the number of lead balls of a certain diameter necessary to weigh 1 pound. So, 12 round lead balls of 12 gauge diameter would weigh 1 pound, but since they’re smaller, it would take 20 balls of 20 gauge diameter to weigh a pound.

   Jan 31, 2020 · A shotgun “bore” is measured in inches, and only a .410 shotgun uses this actual measurement. A 12-gauge shotgun’s bore is between 0.720″ and 0.740″ so the terms “12 bore” isn’t actually correct even though it was a common term until recently.
