So, Kent's #6 is a little oversize. This is assuming there's really 1 1/6 ounce there, and that they did correct their volumetric measure for whatever density the stuff is.
Holding it to a few percent variation is actually pretty good.
Expanding this discussion further, why are there still differences in shot size internationally? Cartridges are standard, how come we can't agree on shot size?
Even if the goofy metric system plays a part here, pellets per some arbitrary unit volume should all have the same gauge number.
Somebody needs to market an American size 5 1/2 pellet at 195 to the ounce. If we can have a bazillion similar rifle calibers, why not a 5 1/2 pellet? I predict instant success.
