The bore of a shotgun barrel is specifically designed to accommodate the size of the shotgun shell and its intended projectile, typically a wad or shot. The diameter of the bore determines the gauge of the shotgun, which influences the type and size of shot that can be used effectively. A properly sized bore ensures optimal performance in terms of accuracy, range, and pattern spread when firing. Additionally, the bore may be designed with specific features, such as choke constrictions, to enhance shooting characteristics for different applications.
The bore is the inside of the barrel of the gun. Bore dimension for most rifles is caliber, which is the bore diameter in fractions of an inch or in millimeters. Some older big game rifles had designations such as "12 bore", which is bore diameter the size of a shotgun barrel of the same gauge. Gauge is the number of round balls fitting the bore that can be made from a pound of lead.

The outside dimension of a barrel is simply the diameter. The traditional inside measurement of a rifled barrel is caliber and the traditional inside measurement of a smoothbore (shotgun) barrel is gauge. Strictly speaking, smoothbore gauges are not diameters. Gauge number is the number of round balls fitting the bore that can be made from a pound of lead.
