From the article:

So, back to a very useful tip on shotgun shells. It's called "cut shells" and what it does is effectively turns the standard number eight shot dove load into a devastating 70mm Glaser type slug.
Not exactly 70mm, that would be nearly twice the diameter of the M203 grenade launcher round.

The video has it correct: "seventy caliber"

A 12 gauge is 0.729" inches in diameter, so it would be fair to call it a "73 cal"
