Sorry!
.410 shotgun is not a gauge, it is four hundred and ten thousandths of an
inch in diameter. There is a .41 caliber pistol cartridge also. These
measurements are in inches.

Subject: CS>Metric /Gauge ( Units of Measure File )
Morning Dan,
You did a better job of explaining gauge than I did.
Actually, I was trying to emphasize that it should not be used as a unit
of measure across the board.
In the same fashion, AWG is also commonly used to specify body piercing
jewelry sizes, especially smaller sizes.[1]
One more unusual use. I think these different uses of gauge date back
before everyone owned a ruler or accurate measuring device.
One thing I intended to mention that I forgot.
When anyone thinks they have all the different Gauge Standards
mastered, they should move to
the final exercise, Understanding the shotgun gauges, 10, 20, 16 and
410 gauges.
I sure am glad they did not use gauge for handgun and rifle cartridge
sizes.
Years back, I came across a file by the name of convert.txt
This is a text file with a line listing of many very old units and their
conversion to another unit.
Many of these are worthless today and only fill their place in history.
http://www.fugitt.com/files/convert.txt
There are a few minor errors in this file. For example, it shows an acre
as being 210 X 210 which is not correct. There is no such thing as a
perfectly square acre, certainly not 210 X 210 feet.
This is a very interesting file, to say the least. Anyone with interest
in Units of Measure should grab a copy and keep it. Some of this
information may be impossible to get one day.
