i just weighed the shot in one of these shells it weighed 476 grains whichequals close to a 1 1/8 ounce.the ounnces of shot in the shell is correct but the pellet count does not come up right..i just counted t14hese i weighed twice.i came up with same no twice of 345 number of pellets...i ve counted 3 of these shells pellets and the number count has been 342 344 345 so if i divide 314 the number of hits in the 28 inch circle by the pellet count of 342 the calulator comes up with 91.5 percent... only thing i can figure out about the pellet count not coming up to par with factory figures is that the pellets in the shell must be closer to the size of a no 7 shot instead of the number 7/1/2 which is stated on the shell and box... the pellets in these shells are irruglar some are a slight bit bigger than others.. but i will shoot a 30 inch circle to see if i can bring the percentage up.. charlie
