2008年3月30日 · A British 4 bore was 1.52 inch diameter and shot a 3 ounce ball. The Belgium and French guns were 1.06 diameter and shot a smaller ball. To further confuse this, today's 4 bore is .935 inch and the shell measures 1.025. Also, 4 gauge guns were offered in various chamber sizes including 2 3/4, 3, 3 7/8 and 4 inch.

2012年8月25日 · Oh, already running a 10-gauge and its good fun. Finding the place to shoot is also not a problem in my parts and I've yet to get bored with any big-bore. Granted, the odds of me finding a 4-bore in this country in shootable condition is slightly better than winning the lottery which I don't play. By the way, not all 4-bores were boat mounted.

2024年4月3日 · I used my 20 gauge Sizemaster to deprime, reprime, drop powder, insert wad (with part of the cushion section cut out to allow for 13/16 ounce of shot) and drop shot. I used a 28 gauge MEC Super Sizer opened up to size the 24 gauge brass and to hold it securely in position on my drill press table while rolling the crimp with a GAEP roll crimp head.

2007年5月21日 · "those designated as 2 3/4 inches usually measure around 2 5/16 inches before firing and 2 5/8 to 2 11/16 inches after firing" "Since the 2 3/4-inch chamber of a shotgun will usually measure at least that long, and sometimes slightly longer"

2022年8月18日 · For shooting coyotes with 12 ga 2-3/4" loads there are much better lead shot sizes than Number 4 buck. There are only about 27 pellets in a 1-1/4 oz load of lead number 4 buck. lead BB shot has about 64 pellets in 1-1/4 oz of shot. lead BBB shot has about 54 pellets in 1-1/4 oz of shot. lead T shot has about 46 pellets in 1-1/4 oz of shot.

2008年6月7日 · 12 gauge shotguns have a nominal diameter and then there are guns with different bore diameters. The gun is not actually a "4 gauge." It would be a "6 gauge" or whatever it equates out to be. Symantics being what they are it IS a 6 gauge and it MAY be called a 4 gauge. Typically, a "4 gauge" is called a 4 bore, and is still common in some respects.

2010年1月16日 · My first Beretta o/u was a BL-4 12 gauge/28 inch and my first 20 gauge o/u was a BL-3 with 26 inch barrels. Both were great guns. My only caution is the same as others have already mentioned, it may be a bit light for shooting clays …

2007年9月1日 · Promo is a very fast 12-gauge powder whose use in the smaller 20-gauge hull bumps nervously near SAAMI maximum service pressure. At 3/4 oz. it's a totally unforgiving exception to a lot of rules, and only slightly forgiving with 11/16 oz. or even lighter payloads.

2003年4月24日 · Large gauge shotguns-----I was wondering if anybody has heard of a 4 gauge shotgun, I don't remember where, but it was there and I read about it, does anybody know where to get one of these, or even better, does anybody still make them or make barrels and parts for them(Ya right!!).
