Gil;
I'm a bit confused by this statement. Is that supposed to read 5/8 oz of shot? And is this a volume measure using a measure graduated for 5/8 oz of lead shot. 5/8 oz of chilled lead would count to about 599 pellets & would weigh 1.022 oz using the 18:11 ratio.
What kind of powder does one have to use to push an oz of shot from a Fo-Ten?


There are approximately 360 #9 TSS pellets in an oz. I have bought some batches higher in count, closer to 380 per ounce meaning slightly smaller than 9. The actual density exceeds 18 g/cc. According to the provider it's 18.5. In TSS 9.5, there are 420 pellets/oz. In 1 5/8 oz. of TSS 9's there are 580 using the 360 count pellets. It is my understanding that there are 585 lead #9 in an ounce. I am not aware of a 1 oz. .410 load. Gil
