When the stock books were copied, evidently the copier wasn't quite long enough to copy the entire page. If I'm lucky, I can see the pellet count at the end of the page. If I'm a little more lucky, I can see the pellet count plus the size of the shot, if I'm even more lucky, I can see what the distance and pattern was.
What I learned from looking at an original stock book at the Remington Museum was that there was another column to the right of the patterning information. That column gave the type of powder used, shot weight, and shell. Rarely you will see that info in the Order Book. The customer specified the type of shell to use.
