The shot tables in my Remington catalogs shows 358 #8 chilled shot in a 7/8-ounce load. Two of the 20-gauge hang-tags I've saved pictures of show 100 & 150 --

Thank you - and no, no shot information but from what I've read it seems the 20 gauge was mostly 7/8, not sure on the 12's. If I did my math correctly only 100 were in the circle out of 359 (around 28%) which seemed a lot lower than the 40% that cylinder should be around.

Hey Dylan, found an older post that indicated that 12's were usually patterned with 1 1/8 oz.

Table in Parker catalogs at the turn-of-the-century. Things could change with time
7/8 oz. Tatham No. 8 would be 350 pellets

From the limited data points from the pictures of hang-tags I've saved, it appears to me that lighter weight 12-gauges were targeted with 1 1/8-ounce in 2 5/8-inch shells and heavier 12-gauges were targeted with 1 1/4-ounce in 2 3/4-inch shells.
