I am making a new stock for a Stevens M110 single shot 12 gauge and need to know what the drop at the heel was originally. The lop is 13.5 inches but the drop is a guess.

If building from scratch, form it so it fits you, not what some factory though should fit every person.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
Take a trip to your LGS and shoulder several guns and compare and measure the drop at the comb and the top of the pad.
That will give you a comparrisin of what you like and what fits you
yep I would fit to me if that was who it was for, and I was building from scratch. length of pull as well, these are both from the factory to fit a wide variety of shooters and only fit a few exactly.
Keep lowering it until you no longer shoot high. Any Savage/Stevens single barrel can be measured and copied for the "standard drop".

I would make it a bit high to start with and not lower it any more than I needed to for proper POI. Those old SS 12 ga guns had a lot of drop and were very good at rapping a fellow in the cheek when fired.
