Yes #10 is a "real size" and it is approx .070 in diamter as compared to #9 which is approx .079 ( or rounded UP to .08) in diamater.
That is an ELEY chart. It does not list EVERY shot ever made. It also rounds up all the diameters to the nearest 1 one hundreth while some go to at least the thousands. Moreover, I do not see the terms "000 buck" or "0".
However, a nice chart indeed and good reference with valuable info. Thanks, JayCee!
If you read back to the first page of this thread you will read where 2-piper found a chart from the 1890's and explains that 10's were on it and the approx size ranges of some of the various makers of #10 shot in that period. The actual dimensional size of the #10 of the day, and specifically the size that Hammond used has some bearing upon this thread.
