As noted above, the term "gauge" is generally used to refer to shotguns(except for the .410, which is the gun's CALIBER). "Gauge" is an OLD measurement, meaning "thenumber of pure lead balls the diameter of the bore that weights one pound." So a 12-ga.'s cylinder bore diameter pure lead ball weighs 1/12 pound, or 12 such balls weigh one pound. When referring to rifles, the term "bore" was often substituted for "gauge", so a "4-bore elephant rifle" fired pure lead round balls weighing 1/4 pound each! Recoil of such a critter must have been fun!! (I have a 12-bore Jaeger rifle. It shoots .735" balls that weigh 597.5 grains. So ist is actually a 11.715 bore...........)
