Default choke comparison

I have a VH 12 bore that letters "275 pellets of size 7 shot in a 30" circle at 40 yards"

Also a DH 12 bore that letters "350 pellets of size 7 shot in a 30" circle at 40 yards"

Any rule of thumb to guess the chokes on the VH? I know from shooting the DH that it is WAYY Full.

My guess is that the 350 count should be 250. What's the S/N?

You would have to know the shot charge to make the correct determination. Having said that a 275 pellet count even with an ounce and a quarter load would most likely be something like a light full. A 350 pellet count would be off the chart full, almost ridiculous. I am in agreement that is probably an incorrect number but we will see what Chuck finds.

Ill post the letter on the dh in a bit....it is a VERY early hammerless, three dog DH12. In
looking at the letter last night, i notice that it specifies 1 1/8th charge, but not the shot size....hard to imagine that a 30” pre 1900 gun would have been patterned with shot smaller than 7’s and not mentioned in the letter.

Mark you indicated here it did not state the shot size but the first post indicated that #7 shot was used. What am I missing ?

You aren't missing anything...I must have imagined seeing the #7 shot on the DH letter (attached) Again though, even if it were #9 shot (unlikely in 1890?), this seems crazy tight.

350 pellets is about an 95% count of 1 1/8 oz. of #7 shot.
