In shotguns, doesn't the number have to do with the number of pellets? IOW, 20 guage has 20 pellets per something. 12 guage has 12 pellets per something? Therefore, the lower number equals larger pellets?
No, guage is a size measurement for the diameter of the shell. Same measuerment is used with needles. An 18ga needle is larger than a 25guage needle. The .410 used the rifle/pistol measurement of hundredths of an inch. Why, I dont know.

The caliber sizes such as .22, .357, etc are the diameter of the bullet in inches. The metric sizes like 9mm, 7mm, etc are the diameter of the bullet in millimeters. Shotgun gauge sizes IIRC are the number of steel balls the size of the barrel opening that it takes to weigh a lb (I think), thus the smaller the gauge size the bigger the load is.

Shotgun gauges are determined by the number of lead balls of a given diameter required to make one pound of that size ball. Thus 10 balls of 10 gauge diameter are required to make one pound of such balls, or 20 balls of 20 gauge diameter are required to make one pound, and so forth.

In metallic cartridges the number often reflects the diameter of the bullet in some way. You almost just have to learn each cartridge to know which are bigger and smaller. Even though in the cartridges starting with point something usually the lower the number the smaller the round.

I knew I was wrong but on the right track

I don't think that's correct, 4X4.
I just couldn't remember what the "something" part of my question was. But I'm pretty certain it's x number of pellets = something.

What Alx said was correct

Actually, by this definition, 4x4 AND Alx are right.
And .410 is actually a caliber...unlike other shotgun guages.

Yea, it's the exception. But that's why it has a decimal in the front

and all can be used to kill uncollared dogs
I recommend becoming familiar with them (either by reading or personal use) before buying one

It can get confusing, but everything in here is mostly correct.
Slick, 264=/= 7mm. 7mm=280. 6.5mm=264 6.7mm=270.

This is one thing that fascinates me. All the different calibers that come from another caliber.
The .308 is a .30-06 shell shortened. Also, the .35 Whelen is in the .30-06 family.
The .375 HH is one that has a ton of caliber in it's "family tree"

Yeah. The h&h is the "daddy" to your belted magnums.
