8 pellets for 1 oz load data
9 pellets for 1 1/8 oz load data
10 pellets for 1 1/4 oz load data
Or did I just over simplify this?
Using the Federal Hunting-Type Plastic Case with Paper Basewad
Lyman says 10 pellets #00, 33.0 grains of Blue Dot, Federal 209A primer, Federal 12S4 wad equals 1340 fps and 8,400 psi
Federal says 1 1/4 oz shot, 34.0 grains of Blue Dot, Federal 209A primer, Federal 12S4 wad equals 1330 fps and 9,600 psi
in all actuality 10 pellets is really 1.2 oz.'s (just shy of 1 1/4 oz.)
The weight in pellets falls within 5%
The weight of the powder charge falls within 3%
