It should however be noted that 36 gauge = .506" in diameter & is in no way at all related to the .410 except it is a smaller number than than 32. I guess they thought that sounded "Bigger" than 67.49, true gauge size of the .410. Miller/TN I Didn't Say Everything I Said, Yogi Berra

Kinda spendy, $75 plus postage Greg Bickford C.F.E. 89 PO Box 730 Dunnigan, CA 95937 Just to add another length to the mix, prior to The Great War, Western Cartridge Co. put up their .410-bore shells in a 2 1/8 inch FIELD shell. I'd like to see an Eley catalog from 1927 to 1932 that offers the 3-inch .410-bore shell. Last edited by Researcher; 01/30/18 02:59 PM.

I guess they thought that sounded "Bigger" than 67.49, true gauge size of the .410. The reference to 36 gauge was associated with the .505 chamber diameter. There are a number of sources citing this, including Dr. Drew's reference in this thread. Last edited by Chuck H; 01/30/18 06:44 PM.
