Reading TPS suggests that Chuck is correct and they did not count pellets, but rather bored to a choke percentage and verified at the patterning plate.
I'm sure sorry that we don't have all of the records, but I'm also very grateful for the work done by those who copied and produced what we have. It must have been a tremendous task.
