You would have to know the shot charge to make the correct determination. Having said that a 275 pellet count even with an ounce and a quarter load would most likely be something like a light full. A 350 pellet count would be off the chart full, almost ridiculous. I am in agreement that is probably an incorrect number but we will see what Chuck finds.

Ill post the letter on the dh in a bit....it is a VERY early hammerless, three dog DH12. In
looking at the letter last night, i notice that it specifies 1 1/8th charge, but not the shot size....hard to imagine that a 30” pre 1900 gun would have been patterned with shot smaller than 7’s and not mentioned in the letter.

You aren't missing anything...I must have imagined seeing the #7 shot on the DH letter (attached) Again though, even if it were #9 shot (unlikely in 1890?), this seems crazy tight.

350 pellets is about an 95% count of 1 1/8 oz. of #7 shot.
