I thought it was on this board,that I saw a chart showing shot size in decimals as related to shot size. Does anyone have this available ?
Like # 6 shot size = .030" or whatever size it is as an example.
Thanks for any help.

Subtract the size in hundredths from 0.17 to get the diameter for that shot size.
Example: #6 becomes .06. 0.17-.06=0.11"diameter
#71/2 becomes 0.075. 0.17- .075 = 0.95"
Or:

Geezer - I assume the last number in your chart is shot per ounce ??
Thanks - I will cut and paste

Yes it is shot per ounce

Geezer,
Thank you for that post. It, I'm sure will be helpful to
many that come here for information.
Some kind moderator might want to post & lock that
somewhere. Shooting forum seems like a good spot....?

Or you could just bookmark this chart. Weight per pellet--steel or lead, sizes in other countries, more than you might need to know.
