By my calculations there should be 15 or 16 pellets of 0 buck in that 8 gauge shell . While I have no charge weight or pellet count for the factory 10 loads I’d be willing to bet they have 10 or 11 pellets .

I decided not to test fire one of the old 8 gauge shells . Instead if said poor unsuspecting deer gets close enough , I’ll try the old shell first in the right barrel and if it fails to ignite I’ll have one of my handloads with 000000 buck in the left barrel no problem .
