It's difficult to answer the question because gauge and caliber are two different things, and different shotgun shells have different types and numbers of projectiles.

Is there a 61 caliber gun?
.61 Caliber is the same as 20 gauge. Rifles are generally measured in caliber which is expressed as bore diameter. A .44 magnum means a .44 inch bore; similarly countries with the metric system use metric bore measurements (ie. 9mm Luger) Shotgun measurements are expressed in gauges. Gauge measurements are fractions of a 1 pound ball of lead. A one gauge shotgun shoots a one pound ball of lead. A 12 gauge takes 12 round lead balls to equal a pound and a 10 gauge equals a tenth of a pound. The smaller the gauge; the larger the bore. The only shotgun I am aware of that is measured differently is the .410 shotgun which is approximately .45 caliber or a 67.62 gauge.

Properly written as .10 caliber (notice the decimal ?) a .10 caliber firearm would fire a VERY tiny bullet- 1/10th of an inch in diameter- less than half the size of a .22 caliber.

With shotguns, the smaller the gauge, the bigger the shell.
