Chokes can be changed over time. Always good to do your own patterning.

From surviving hang-tags we see 12-gauge 30-inch guns being targeted with 1 1/8- or 1 1/4-ounce loads.

125594 12-gauge, 2 3-4 inch, 1 1-8 ounce.jpg

213855 12-gauge, 2 5-8-inch, 1 1-4 ounce.jpg

Number 7 Tatham Chilled Shot goes 299 pellets to the ounce -- 1 1/8 ounce would be 336 and 1 1/4-ounce 374. So, 253/336 = 75.3% or 253/374 = 67.6%.
