Shot sizes of #11 and #12 were refered to as "dust" shot in olden times and with as many as 1250 pellets per oz. I can't help but wonder if eating game taken with such shot might have resulted in many cases of lead poisoning and even death.
I imaging snipe, woodcock and such game as "four and twenty blackbirds" would have fallen to 10, 11 and 12 shot.
