First of all; .410 is NOT a gauge. It is a bore. The Gauges are determined by an antiquated method which was developed long before there ever was a .410 bore shotgun. NO ONE knows for sure exactly how and when the .410" bore shotgun actually came to be, but if that diameter - .410" -- were determined using the GAUGE method, it would be approximately a 67.5 Gauge. You can learn more merely by using your internet Search Engine feature. You can even learn how gauges are determined and that in Great Britain they don't use the term gauge at all for shotguns. THEN: if you really want to befuddle yourself, research Dram Equivalents. So: the answer is: nobody really knows . Your question falls in the same category as" HOW DID THEY COME UP WITH WHITE MEN?" Nobody knows.

Is a 4 10 bullet a 20 Gage bullet?
I think what you're asking is:Is a .410 bullet a 20 gauge bullet??Well, most shotguns are sized using the Gauge nomenclature. Generally, gauge answers:"How many lead spheres of this diameter are needed to equal a pound?"So, the larger the diameter, the larger the spheres of lead, the fewer are needed to equal a pound. So that is why the gauge system is inverted (lower number equals a larger bore: a 12 gauge has a larger diameter than a 20 gauge.There is a shotgun size that does NOT use gauge, it uses caliber (like a bullet). This exception is the .410 shotgun--The .410 is 41/100ths of an inch, or roughly .41 caliber.Also, shotguns usually propel several projectiles at once (called shot). This can range from the size of sand grains to marble sized pellets. Some shotgun cartridges fire a single chunk of lead which is called a SLUG (not a bullet).So to answer your (cleaned-up) question, a .410 slug is much much smaller than a 20 gauge slug. A rough estimate is that a .410 barrel is roughly 68 gauge, while a 20 gauge is roughly .60 caliber.
Where does shotgun gauge come from?
Think of a lead ball which is the diameter of the inside of the barrel of the shotgun. The gauge of the shotgun is the number of balls that size to make up one pound. 12 balls - 12 gauge 20 balls - 20 gauge 28 balls - 28 gauge Exception - .410 bore is the actual bore diameter

For shotguns what does gauge measure?
It is an indication of the diameter of the inside of the barrel. The larger the number, the smaller the diameter. It works like this: the number is how many balls that size make up one pound of lead, so a 20 gauge barrel is the diameter of a ball, 20 of which would make up one pound. 12 gauge is the size ball that 12 balls would make one pound. This is correct except for .410, which is the actual bore size of 41/100".

RANGER side by side shotgun?
Ranger was a trade name used by Sears Roebuck, probably from about 1920-1040's. The guns were made by a variety of manufacturers, but a SxS double is most likely a version of the Stevens 311. They should be good utility guns, but nothing flashy or expensive. A 12 gauge should be worth $200-$250. The 20 gauge might be $100 higher. This is an incorrect answer. The Ranger line was made for Sears and Roebuck, by Hunter Arms, famous for L.C.Smith shotguns. The Ranger was the same as the Fulton and Fulton Special. These were and are exrtreamly good boxlock shotguns, as many of the parts were the same design as he L.C.Smith. These go for up to 1500 dollars in 20 guage, so the 410 will ble worth more. The 410 is the rarest of this model, and will command a premium price. I
