the answer would be brand specific, 12 gauge refers to the shell diameter, and 3 inch the length, inside will be divided into propellant and projectile, some may have more propellant leaving less room for projectiles but will be more powerful, some may have less propellant, in favour of more projectile at a decreased range.

When was FN Auto5 serial 1114xx made is the caliber 67.5 or 70mm and can you use steel or heavishot?
1932. You are probably asking about the shell length, not caliber. A 16 gauge of this vintage was probably chambered for 2 9/16 inch (67.5 mm) shells but may have been modified to 2 3/4 (70 mm). I THINK all 12 gauge A5's had 2 3/4 inch chambers. A gunsmith probably wouldn't even charge you for measuring the chamber. Let him advise you on the use of steel or synthetic shot after he has examined the gun.
