Hmm. Only 8? Seems 12 GA, 2 3/4" 00 shells had nine the last time I tore one down in 1968.
@Concerned American
Once again, a Google search lied to me. It's not like I actually wanted to cut open one of my rounds and count the pellets.
But for the sake of accuracy, I did cut open one round of OD-green Winchester 12 gauge 00 buckshot highly-favored by law-enforcement and military. And lo and behold, there were 9-54 grain 0.329" diameter pellets.
I'll be sending you the bill for the wasted round, you sonofabitch.
