00 buck uses a 0.33 pellet and there are 8 per ounce. Depending on the shell there can be more or fewer pellets in a load.

The parts of a loaded shell are the primer, powder, wad, cushion, shot and cap. The cushion helps keep the shot from deforming and the cap helps keep the shot together in the barrel.
