According to  [[Chuck Hawks]], "Shotgun gauges are determined by the number of [[lead]] balls of a given diameter required to make one pound of that size ball. Thus 10 balls of 10 gauge diameter are required to make one pound of such balls, or 20 balls of 20 gauge diameter are required to make one pound, and so forth. This is the traditional, and very old, system."<ref>[http://chuckhawks.com/intro_gauges.htm Introduction to Shotgun Gauges & Shells]</ref>
