A: Thanks for reaching out Gregg! I can't say how many shot pellets a shell is loaded with based on its length alone. A 2-3/4" shell may have 7/8 ounces, 1 ounce, or 1-1/8 ounces of shot, for example. That's why you have to go by how many ounces of shot a shell is loaded with.
This website is extremely useful for reference, as it shows you how many shot pellets are within the most common shot column weights:

A: This is number 4 Shot. The pellets will be much smaller than #4 Buck and the over all length of the shell is 2 3/4" on this one versus the 3" shell for the #4 Buck. Both will work well in the Judge Handguns. Here i s a link to Federals Website comparing the two offerings.
