What is determined by the number of lead balls (each having the same diameter as the bore) required to make one pound?

  1. The caliber of a rifle

  2. The gauge of a shotgun

  3. The type of choke

  4. The amount of black powder needed

The correct answer is: The gauge of a shotgun

The incorrect answer choices are related to various aspects of firearms, such as rifle caliber, shotgun gauge, and choke. The number of lead balls required to make one pound is actually used to determine the gauge of a shotgun, as each gauge corresponds to a certain number of lead balls that would equal one pound. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect because they are not directly related to the specific measurement being described in the question.
