The internal diameter of a 12 gauge shotgun barrel is therefore equal to the diameter of a lead ball weighing 1/12 pound, which happens to be .729" (Or in British: Bore.) .410 is not really a gauge, except by convention. It is the actual diameter of the bore in decimal inches. The Gauge/Bore system is also used to describe the internal barrel diameter of large-bore, 19th century, English, single-shot and double-barrel black powder rifles. https://www.hallowellco.com/bore_size_chart.htm |
