Im not bored, im rather in-gauged in this lecture.
You sir, have my respect!
dad joke of the year goes to...
I have no choice, I have to respect this one. 🤣
Whomp whomp whomp....
Get out
Thanks for the numbers. In America we just shoot stuff and whatever does the most damage is best for every application.
What's the best for schools and churches?

Following that logic, I'd have to drag a howitzer around with me. I'd rather just use a little bit of math and figure out a more efficient way of doing things.
To make it even more confusing, the British accent makes BALL and BORE sound identical.
Not really...
Lol yeah
Well if your a f*+#ing idiot who doesn’t speak English, or your American then yes it might do.
British isn’t a accent
@@idky2685 maybe a glaswegian, scouse, welsh, jordie, brummie and good old middle England accent sounds the same to an American. Although "Hey, are you from Australia?" question, usually gives it away that, they just dont have a clue
its Christmas yet im sitting here watching this for some reason
highlandrab19 exactly what I was thinking. But a great vid nonetheless.
How odd so am I , great video though
And a Merry Christmas to you all!!!
Lol me too...I was hoping he would demonstrate by action felt like I was in school...
Here I am two days before Xmas
Its called 410 because it would be like 68 Guage otherwise
duh. 12 bore brit madness
Its called 36 gauge in some logical countries
@@ddnn1142 calling it that would make it more simple
dd nn 36 gauge is an Australian 506 bore. A 410 bore would be a 67.5 gauge
a 4440cal cartridge works rather nicely in the 41cal shotgun , theoretically of course
I’ve switched from a 12 gauge to a 16 gauge for waterfowl. Trying to bring it back. There are a few ammo manufacturers making steel and non-tox ammo for the 16. Perfect gauge and love the classic gun our dads/grandpas shot. Shot some greenheads with my grandpa’s old Remington 11-48 last year just like he used to.
My dad has my grandpas Browning 16 gauge, probably from the 40s and I've always loved the way it looks and the age of it but never shot it. I have my grandpas Remington sportsman 58 20 gauge (not sure the year but they quit production in 65) but I don't wanna take it duck hunting because of the wood. I've used my brothers Remington 870 20 gauge since its synthetic but need to get my own. I'm thinking about getting a 16 because its becoming easier to find shells and its kind of like using my 30.30, its just cool using an old school caliber/gun. I just don't know about the kick, obviously for duck hunting I don't want something that kicks too hard, but I'm having a hard time deciding which to get.
Never used one but I’ve always thought the 16 gauge was the sweet spot. Perfectly sized for 1oz loads.
I recently acquired a Sportsman 48 in 16 gauge myself, quite light and well balanced.
Doom Guy: *heavy breathing*
"That's generally referred to as a cannon" 😂😂😂
Wow. This was the most informative bore/gauge video I ever saw 😊
.410 is technically a caliber measurement , internal diameter of the bore in inches. It equates to 67 gauge
I think you need to recheck your maths... :)
Its 36 gauge
Thanks again for the great videos. Happy Christmas to Jonny and all at The Gun Shop.
Merry Christmas to you!
There's less of a gauge/bore choice in the US. While all are still in production the 10's and 16's are really hard to find, especially the 10's, and 28's are relatively scarce too though not as bad. 410's have risen in popularity due to their use in handguns.
R32R38 you can buy 16 gauge at Walmart. Usually have Remington, Winchester, and federal options and the shot size I’ve seen is number 5s to number 8s. For 10 gauge I usually have to look at local gun stores that cater to waterfowl more.
All the Walmarts, Academys, and Local Gun Shops in my Area carry a variety of 16 gauge cartridges. Same thing can be said for the 28 gauge and 410. The only negative to them is that they will typically be more expensive than 12 or 20 gauge cartridges.
That's because the stuff smaller than 12 gauge is considered to be for youths and women.
It’s always a good day when you learn something.
I think both sides are half right and the correct nomenclature would be "bore gauge", eg "12 bore gauge". Just like wire gauge or sheet metal gauge, it's bore gauge because you're gauging bores.
No
I love the mighty 10 Guage. It is mighty and you can take that to the bank.
What cartridge combination works best in a 12 bore 3/4 choke for high pheasants?
Beautifully explained.
Brilliant👍
Thank you for the effort you put into your channel and video content. Greatly appreciated!
🇺🇸 Great demo! 👍🏼
.410 bore is called ".410" because no one wants to call it 68 gauge. At one point in time, it was common to erroneously call .410 bore shotguns and the associated shells "36 gauge," and some European companies still mark them this way (Fiocchi does, for example). In reality, 36 gauge, if such a beast actually existed, would probably be somewhere in the .506" bore diameter area.
Amazing video easy to understand very educational
my god, finally someone who's heard of 16 & 28g lol
Merry Christmas! Good to see a new vid today!
Merry Christmas
I stumbled across this video and you’ve earned a subscriber! Great content that is well presented.
Merry Christmas to Johnny and the rest of the staff at The Gun Shop.
Merry Christmas Dan
Learned something today. Thank you sir
Called .410 not 68 gauge because having a 12 and 68 gauge just sounds silly
I heard its called 36 gauge in some places
A Human 2 a 36ga is an Australian round. .506 bore. A .410 bore would be a 67.5 gauge
I’m thinking about getting a 410 shotgun for a starter do you recommend it
Watching this video having a large glass of sloe gin, great combination, merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, thanks for the video
Merry Christmas 🎄
Brilliant as usual. :)
hello johe how about you tell as how to choose shotgun cartridges and what’s good and bad cartridge
Great summary 👏
I HAVE A BURNING QUESTION ABOUT 28GA🧐
I have actually roughly conceptualized what appears to be a very efficient 28ga load (though it may require a particularly long shotcup) : if I could load 3" 28ga, I would place 2x copper spheres of #4 buck, #3 buck, 6mm, or 6.5mm varieties next to each other (horizontal to my eyesight) in the shotcup, then the same type of 2 spheres on top (but vertically to my eyesight) and repeat the horizontal-vertical pattern until I have filled the extra long shotcup up.
22 of these copper spheres should weigh about 7/8 oz, but the question I have about my load concept is simply this: could one actually fit that many in a 3" 28ga shell given the proper shotcup design and powder charge? And if not, then how many projectiles would fit efficiently and how much would they collectively weigh? 🤔🤔🤔 Also, how would it pattern compared to 20 and 12ga #4 buck loads?
I also wonder how this load would work in various shell lengths ranging from 1¾" & 3½" and what the overall most efficient shell length would be. 😅🤣
You may find the Winchester study on shot string length interesting and possibly factor this into your evaluation of the various gauges...Also you may want to study the research done by Jess Briley regarding the use of double jug chocking to achieve shorter shot strings which is what the Winchester study addressed...I digress now to relate why I only shot the 28 gauge for the 12/20/28 American Skeet events ands of course the .410 for .410 events...My last year of active American Skeet competition my 28 gauge average was extremely close to 100%...I was never able to carry a 100% average in the 12 and 20 events...I must admit I was shooting a Perazzi MT-6 with double jug choked Briley titanium tubes...Winchester claimed the two most balanced gauges were the 10 and 28...Jess Briley attempted and I feel accomplished improving the effectiveness of the 12, 20 and .410 with his unique chocking process...It's not all black and white, but this is it appeared to be from my experience...I shot many .410 100's and the Briley tubes turned the clays to dust in the .410 event...Many shooters commented how crushed my targets appeared to them...I do enjoy your channel and love the banter you have with your guests...Keep making great videos!
Great video!
What if you just like feeding geese bread? What's the optimal loading of bread in a 4 bore?
Which one is best for long distance
Great video 👍
Merry Christmas you absolute legend 😂
Merry Christmas mate 🤣
So answer me this - does a 10 gauge shotgun slap?
Hi I am looking for a new gun I was thinking of a mk 38 I am A bit of a novice only been shooting for six months got a budget of £1500 or so I thought the MK 38 trap would be a good all-rounder but to be honest really could do with your professional advice so was going to arrange to visit your shop to purchase one thanks john
Merry Christmas guys and good video as all ways
Merry Christmas
Could the .410 be that the bore diameter is .410?
Boxing day here in NZ,wet,cloudy.Santa gave me a wee 28 gauge Jubilee Prestige.Merry Christmas TGS
Merry Christmas! Did you manage to get out Boxing Day?
@@tgsoutdoors no,my wife went to the sales to buy stuff we don't need at 70% off.
I started stiching a cartridge belt.
Great video thanks
thank you for this!
I agree to some extent about the gauges/bore. However technically here in america the bore diameter is what we call the caliber at least with rifles.. so a 12 gauge, for example, would be considered a .73 caliber.
Well done!
wats 32 end 24 ?
Jolly good. Thank you.
Way to tackle a challenging subject!
Ten gauge
FTW
Pushes they way more bush when grouse hunting, and puts so much more in the air for flyers.
With less recoil, at the expense of target acquisition.
However, follow up shots are much easier.
Agreed 12 bore is exactly as you said other wise it would be .7...gauge etc old world is English shooting full stop lol
Where can i buy 4 bore cartridges?
That is a hard one - component parts are available but complete is usually custom loaded
You could have added a 9mm Flobert then there's the obscure 24, touched on, and 32 gauge/bore guns.theyre all pretty esoteric with the exception of 12,20 and .410 with 12 being the most common.
nerd
well done ... thank you
So, it looks to me, (a tyro shotgunner), that for upland shooting a 20 bore with a three inch chamber would offer the same game range as the 12 bore . As i understand it, the longer shot column of 1 oz of lead could even be said to put the 20 bore slightly ahead of the 12 in that more pellets could be present at the same point of impact.
Or, alternativly, i have completly misapplied todays lesson
Merry Christmas Jon.
Merry Christmas Kev
so what you're saying is that I can buy an artillery cannon and be able to legally call it a 1 gauge shotgun?
TGS Outdoors (algorithm food). Thanks for your content, first time watching. I sub & like everything I watch for cataloguing purpose and it is the least I think all of us could do.
Anyways, I have a suggestion, recommendation, or critique depending upon perspective. This format is often viewed over smart phones, as I am right now. I searched 8 10 12 guage differences and you were first in the cue after adds, so here I sit. For presentation purposes your white board with small illegible Blue marker conveying tonnes of what i am sure is good relevant information that was VERY informative in your narrative, but I couldn't follow along If I had wanted to.
In my imaginations I see a handsome articulate knowledgeable man, you. Great, that is endlessly valuable in communications and all important in marketing the product, you again. Presentation for communication of an intimate nature, which your individual direct propositions are in essence. So, I see you in this presentation sitting at the table with the individual cartridges, the subject. Having yourself filling half of the screen the shells of topic will also be more clearly defined in their differences. The ratio improvement of 4-1, so my smartphone screen can SEE. Having you sitting at the table with the shells means you can handle them as example in your explanation's narrative. Also at these different scales the white board could still be your backboard and with black block letters. Try to simplify the info through easy to understand graphs expressing the information.
Thank you again, from Canada with Common Wealth sentiments and best wishes. I assume through the character you exude on screen that you will read this full WALL OF TEXT 🤟🍻🙏
DEAR JOHN, THE 0,410 BORE/GAUGE IS THE 36 OR NOT? MANY GREETINGS FROM GREECE!
No, 36 gauge has a bore of .506 inch
If you converted .410 into gauge it would be a 67.62 gauge/bore. It simply isn't a part of the standard gauge/bore sizes.

Which company does 63g shells for a 12 bore?
Neil's Angling Reviews gamebore MAMMOTH MAGNUM
Luke Lynn cheers buddy
Beat us too it - Merry Christmas
My go to is 410, and 16, although I might have to switch to 12
The subtitles do not like bore sizes, they want ball sizes, lol. Either way great info, well detailed there mate, thx.
What about 32 ga?
Came here as part of my research to determine the guage/bore of the super shotgun as seen in Doom Eternal
hum, I saw a 16Ga stamped with a 700 and 710 bore (diameter) wouldnt that make it a non existing 14 GA? ;p
Or its a 12Ga with a 1/2 and a Full Choke (0.020 inch and 0.030 inch restrictions), correct?
Witch is beast for long distance?
12 has the best variety of commercial loads for long range
10 if your home loading
@@tgsoutdoors i want to shoot 00 or 000 for long distanc. Which is best 12 or 16?
Id generally consider a larger gauge an advantage as they make lower shot weight shells if you don't want the recoil of a full load 12 ga or 16 ga when doing something that doesn't need it like dove but it can still hold a full load power load if you do want it like for turkey or ducks.
Something like a .410 bore or 28 gauge just isn't going to hold that kind of shot load.
The deference between bore and gauge is bore is for rifled rifles and gauge is for smooth bore guns( like shotguns)
An old 10 Ga paper round, haven’t seen one in a while
For small game i use a 28 double barrel side by side.
isn't called .410, because it's 41 caliber?
they now make 410 that also shoot 45 LC, measuring the projectile that make sense to me
Hi why don’t you do a video of some one coming to the gun shop to buy a new shotgun what would they experience and expect from you
Cheese yes I would I’m looking to buy a MK38
Would a 1 gauge be a slug?
Gauge is determined from the weight of a solid sphere of lead that will fit the bore of the firearm and is expressed as the multiplicative inverse of the sphere's weight as a fraction of a pound, e.g., a one-twelfth pound lead ball fits a 12-gauge bore. Thus there are twelve 12-gauge balls per pound, etc. (That comes from wikipedia cause english isn't my first language) but the type of shot (buck, bird or slugs) doesn't have to do anything with the gauge. So no, a 1 gauge wouldn't be a slug.
what about 4, 8, 14, 24, 32, .360 and the 3 rimfires
All great fun, but significantly less popular
Thanks!
Dont underestimate putting more cartridges in your pockets when the game is thick.
More bang per kg in small gauges when weight matters as well
So what is the best gauge lol
Can Karina talk about width and girth next time?
Saw someone talk about a 10 gauge then I got curious and ended up here
Shooting clay with 410 is hard and a great challenge. If you can hit with it you can hit with anything. almost
2:05 yeah i totally get what you're saying...it's kind of a case of both being incorrect in some capacity
Enjoyed this video with a large gin and tonic just before Christmas lunch, well done boys @girls.
Merry Christmas Gerald!
Not gonna beat around the bush gonna shoot straight to the point
I'm inhereting my Dad's Browning BPS in 10 ga. Absolutely brutal gun, weighs 9.75lbs and is about 50 inches long.
Perfect for concealed carry and hunting varmint and small game.
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive I hunt flies with my 10 gauge
Why does The 16 have a lower max than The 20?
Small array available on the market. That and no 16 bore magnum guns exist really
More simply put, you can buy 3" magnum 20 gauge shells but in 16 gauge there is only 2-3/4"

Literally the best channel on UA-cam 👍
.410 is measured as caliber. Why it's called that and not "68 bore" is beyond me.
interestingly Chopper Reid favoured the trusty 410 in his work
What about 8 gauge
You forgot to buy the music. It still has the premiumbeat.com watermark in it.
"Bore" derives from Old German *borôn* (to puncture, plow, or drill a hole).
"Gauge" derives from the Old French *gaugere* (to measure).
Therefore, "bore" has more to do with the manufacture, while "gauge" has more to do with the measure. This entire discussion is about measurements. And so, my fellow Yanks have the right of it. 🇺🇸😁
Hence the judge a .410 handgun
That's because the stuff smaller than 12 gauge is considered to be for youths and women.
I Just Looked Up “Shooting All Shotgun Gauges” Because I Thought My Brain Needed It. It Did.
Well at least you're not talking about clipazines.
Thanks man ,you are great but would you mind speaking more slowly in the next videos 😁because not every body is a British native speaker and listener and thank you again for giving nice informations.
Simple rule to shot guns
The larger the number the smaller the damage
