I'll be curious. You might not get your 12 bore gauge down the barrel of this one.

I double checked the records and the pellet counts in the research letter are accurate. According to the table found in the 1882 catalog, there are 399 pellets of size 8 shot in 1 ounce using Tatham shot which is what Parker used. If my math is correct a 1 1/8 oz. load of size 8 shot should have 450 pellets. The records don't show what size was requested but size 7 shot should only have 327 pellets in 1 1/8 oz. so they must have used size 8 shot. That would mean the RH shot 72% and LH shot 77%
