Guage and caliber
#1
Waaaaaay back in hunters safety, in my pre-teen years, the instructor told us the guage/ caliber equivalence. I don't remember it. Does anyone know it.
If I'm not making sense, what I mean is, the diameter of a 12 guage bore is equivalent to what measurement in inches, i.e. caliber.
Same question for all guages.
Just curiosity here, no other point to this thread.
Thanks

The actual relationship between Guage and bore size is how many lead balls that have a diameter of the bore it takes to make a pound.
12 guage= 12 lead balls of bore diameter= 1 lb.
12 guage= 12 lead balls of bore diameter= 1 lb.
