Common gauges include 12, 20, and 28, with 12-gauge being the most popular for versatility. Shell length typically ranges from 2.75 inches to 3 inches, affecting the amount of powder and shot contained within. Shot types vary, including birdshot for small game, buckshot for larger targets, and slugs for maximum stopping power.
