Been around guns my entire life and never knew that. For some reason I never thought of that. Thanks for the info.

Grew up around guns and have had a 12 gauge ever since my 16th birthday and I've never known that. I love American history. Thank you for the lesson.

I’ve known this my entire adult life (I’m 73) thanks to my grandfather, but I’ve rarely heard it explained so succinctly.
Bravo!

Students that went through my hunter education class in the '80s and '90s learned this information.
Thanks much for passing it on; it's actually important information.

[PopsHowTo]

I honestly didn’t know that about the lead.

Thanks guy!

[klimatbluffen]

Definitely the simplest and best explanation of how the shotgun caliber is the way it is.👍

[EventHorizon.]

My dad explained this to me when I got my first shotgun and I’m glad someone is educating people 👍👍👍

[Tactical_Shenanigans]

Very good I knew this as a firearms instructor but I’ve never seen this put out in the general population to understand.

[kennethgumm]

This man just spit out more firearm knowledge in less than 60 seconds than in all of Washington DC. Combined.

[gunsmithonduty]

I've been doing this for 20 years and I still have to have this explained to me every six months. This is the most concise explanation I've heard in a while.

I just saw a video from this channel yesterday for the first time and I’m really liking this channel!

I learned this from my Platoon Sergeant in Vietnam. He was a good old boy from Mississippi who started hunting at 9 yrs old.

[wolfpat]

I already knew that about calibers, but I always wondered where "Gauge" came from.

Thank you for explaining that.

I already knew this but I am so glad someone did a video on this subject.
