Caliber Dictionary: Discover more about the 12 gauge, a versatile shotgun gauge suitable for various applications from dove hunting to goose shooting. With sporting, military, and law enforcement uses, the 12 gauge comes in 2 ¾”, 3”, and 3 ½” lengths, with magnum options preferred for waterfowl and turkey hunting. Major manufacturers offer a wide range of guns and ammunition for the 12 gauge, with loads ranging from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. Common loadings include 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz. Target loads typically have velocities around 1150 to 1200 FPS, while high-velocity lead loads reach up to 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads are loaded faster, at around 1500 FPS, due to lower density shot. Although the 2 ¾” loading remains popular, most current production guns feature 3” or 3 ½” chambers. It's important to note that shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells.
