I just opened up an RST 2 7/8 10 ga., No. 2 Nice Shot, 1 1/4 oz. nominal load, in a brown (Federal) plastic case. I bought 20 rounds of this about 10 years ago and have shot about 5 of them. The load contained 150 pellets averaging .0145 in diameter weighing 4.15 grains each, for a total load weight of 620 grains or 1.42 oz. Smaller, lighter and more pellets than I would have expected. The load patterned 84% (126 pellets) in a 30 inch circle at 40 yards from my 1884 32 inch full choke toplever, and 52% (78 pellets) from my 1879 28 inch cut barrel Parker Laminated Steel lifter with no choke. This is a really nice load. I just wish they still made and sold them. , even at the $3 per shell I paid 10 years ago.
