Your letter should have read 255 pellets in a 30" circle at 40 yards which is also the standard for a 12 ga. today. Your number of pellets in a 40" circle should be lower than a 30" circle at the same distance. I'm sending you a revised letter.

If I did the math correctly, Tatham had approximately 325 pellets in 1 1/8 oz. of size 7 shot so 255 / 325 = .788 % which is a full choke
