Gauge (ga) is the bore that fits a specific weight of lead but it refers, once again, to the bore not the lead itself (though the practice seems backwards).
Thanks for that, will correct the calibre, I knew it was a four ten but was unsure of how it is written - I'm not going to argue with a Texan about guns
Incidentally would a 12 bore be the same thing as a 12 guage?
a 12 ga shot gun is one with a bore of the correct size to fit 1/12 of a pound of lead formed as a sphere.
