Large shot used specifically for swan shooting was known in this country as early as 1775. Iroquois hunters routinely referenced and requested it from both French and British traders. I have never seen a notation of its true size (e.g., #2, BB, etc.) but undoubtedly it was a "standardized" size preferred for swans and geese.
