This means that while its pattern density will be greater, the energy of its individual pellets at distance will be less. It takes more powder to move 1 1⁄8 ounces of lead at the same velocity as a 1-ounce payload, and so if both loads have the same amount of powder, the 1 1⁄8 ounce load will have less velocity. If all things are equal, a 1 1⁄8-ounce load would be deadlier and have more recoil than a 1-ounce load, but all things are not equal. 8s has the same number.) A 1 1⁄8-ounce load has approximately 461. (A 20 gauge with a 1-ounce payload of No. For example, a 1-ounce load of 12 gauge No. It’s used for nearly all shot sizes except buckshot, which uses pellet count. Ounce: The total weight of the payload, or pellets. Despite common myths, smaller-diameter pellets do not penetrate more than larger pellets travelling at the same velocity. Pellet diameter is measured in inches, and therefore, if made of pure lead, like-diameter pellets have the same mass. Shot Size: This is the diameter of the individual pellet, collectively called shot. That’s why you need to read the box and continue reading this. While a 10-gauge shell has the capacity to hold more shot and powder than a 12-gauge shell of the same length, it’s not always loaded to do so. Gauge has little to do with the size of a shotgun’s pattern-that’s dictated by choke-but rather the pattern’s density potential. 729-inch in diameter, so 12 solid-lead balls of. Gauge is an old English measurement of bore diameter that reflects the number of same-diameter pure-lead balls that equal 1 pound. Gauge: If you’re not sure what gauge is, you may need remedial reading, not this article.but there are a few things the average shotgunner might not know. Sure, it’s listed right there on the colored cardboard, but what’s it all mean? Here goes: Unfortunately, I’m the type who wants to know exactly what’s in that box. I sometimes admire the blissful folks who run into Walmart, grab the first box of 00 buckshot they spy, check to make sure the price isn’t insane, then return home with ammo that’ll serve them just fine.
