Looks like a duplex shot charge; 4s and 6s? I see Robert mentioned 7&1/2; maybe some are just oxidized.

Fred, You are correct, some of the pellets are still bright others are rough and oxidized. Pellets measured .091-.095 oxidized or not, so 7 1/2 they are.

The pliers test shows pellets to be softer than the Eagle shot I'm using to reload.

The oxidation is no surprise considering their age. I'm not as old as they are and I'm beginning to "OXIDIZE" in a few spots to!
