I wonder what responce I'd get at a gunstore if I asked for a box of 7.92x57mm JS Mauser.

Now everyone knows 410 is not a guage right?

Now how many people don't know what guage is?

Actually, relatively few people (even those that shoot shotguns a fair bit) actually know how a "guage" is determined. Most are baffled that a 12 Gu is LARGER than a 28, and don't understand *WHY*

Of course, since we are all gunnutz, we know.
