.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.
