There's one more. The Americans have a shot size called Air Rifle, .175, it translates to British BBBB.

About 55 pellets to the Oz.

Indian shot sizes are same as British. The chart clearly shows 100 to the ounce for no. 1 shot.

KF special is loaded with 1 1/16 oz of shot or 30.1 grams. This has now been reduced to 30 grams only ex - 2001 - 2002.

So a 30 gram load of No. 1 shot should have approximately 108 to 110 pellets.

Clear now ?
