12 gauge The six most common shotgun gauges, in descending order of size, are the 10 gauge, 12 gauge, 16 gauge, 20 gauge, 28 gauge, and .410 bore.^[2] By far the most popular is the 12 gauge,^[2] particularly in the United States.

 

 The 20-gauge shotgun is the next most popular size being favored by shooters uncomfortable with the weight and recoil of a 12-gauge gun, and is popular for upland game hunting. The next most popular sizes are 28 gauge and .410 bore. Both the 10 gauge and 16 gauge, while less commonplace, are still available.

Shotguns and shells exceeding 10 gauge, such as the 8 and 4 gauge, are historically important in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe. Today, they are rather rarely manufactured. Shells are usually black powder paper cartridges as opposed to the plastic or wax cartridge and smokeless powder of today.

The 11, 15, 18, 2, and 3-gauge shells are rarest of all;^[4] owners of these types of rare shotguns will usually have their ammunition custom loaded by a specialist in rare and custom bores.

 

The 14 gauge has not been loaded in the United States since the early 1900s, although the 2+9⁄16-inch (65 mm) hull is still made in France.^[4] The very small 24 and 32 gauges are still produced and used in some European and South American countries. Punt guns are rarely encountered

 

Since shotguns were not originally intended to fire solid projectiles, but rather a compressible mass of shot, the actual diameter of the bore can vary. The fact that most shotgun bores are not cylindrical also causes deviations from the ideal bore diameter.

The chamber of the gun is larger, to accommodate the thickness of the shotshell walls, and a “forcing cone” in front of the chamber reduces the diameter down to the bore diameter.

 

The forcing cone can be as short as a fraction of an inch, or as long as a few inches on some guns. At the muzzle end of the barrel, the choke can constrict the bore even further, so measuring the bore diameter of a shotgun is not a simple process, as it must be done away from either end.

Shotgun bores are commonly “overbored” or “backbored”, meaning that most of the bore (from the forcing cone to the choke) is slightly larger than the value given by the formula

This is claimed to reduce felt recoil and improve patterning. The recoil reduction is due to the larger bore producing a slower acceleration of the shot, and the patterning improvements are due to the larger muzzle diameter for the same choke constriction, which results in less shot deformation. A 12-gauge shotgun, nominally 18.5 mm (0.73 in), can range from a tight 18 mm (0.71 in) to an extreme overbore of 20 mm (0.79 in).

 

Some also claim an increased velocity with the overbored barrels, up to 15 m/s (49 ft/s), which is due to the larger swept volume of the overbored barrel.

Once only found in expensive custom shotguns, overbored barrels are now becoming common in mass-marketed guns. Aftermarket backboring is also commonly done to reduce the weight of the barrel, and move the center of mass backwards for a better balance.

 

Factory overbored barrels generally are made with a larger outside diameter, and will not have this reduction in weight—though the factory barrels will be tougher, since they have a normal barrel wall thickness.
