Does anyone have a handy dandy chart or list showing how many pellets are in a shot load, by ounce, on average for a given shot size? I'm specifically looking for 1oz and 1 1/8oz loads of #5 shot.
Thanks.

#5 shot has 168 pellets per ounce, so 168 and 189.

Thank you Spence.
Now if I could just find one of those nice antique shot dispensing cabinets like you have to mount this chart too......
