What is the a measure related to the diameter of the bore and the size of the shot shell designed for the bore?

The measure related to the diameter of the bore and the size of the shotgun shell is known as "gauge." The gauge is determined by the number of lead balls of the bore diameter that equal one pound; for example, a 12-gauge shotgun has a bore diameter that allows for 12 lead balls of that diameter to weigh one pound. The smaller the gauge number, the larger the bore size. This system is commonly used to classify shotguns and their corresponding ammunition.


Why are shotguns called 12 bores or 10 bores or 20 bores etc?

Shotguns are named according to the number of bore-diameter-sized lead balls that can be made from one pound of lead. For example, a "12-bore" shotgun means that 12 lead balls of bore diameter can be made from one pound of lead. The larger the number, the smaller the bore diameter.
