shot size

[nova]

I remember reading a post here a while back and I can't find it. I remember another guy had put an "equation" on how to figure out the diameter of a pellet and how many there are in an ounze.
It went something like this, 17-9=8, which would be ?. If anyone remembers that post I would appreciate it. THANKS.
