Is there any general source, or basic techniques, for galley or squib loads for 243, 308, 338, 375?

Would a single pellet of No.4 buck work for a 243? Or No.1 Buck for a 308, "O" or "OO" buck for a 338, "OOO" buck for a 375?

Can anyone tell me the approx wt in grains for the various buckshot pellets? Looking for ~600-800 fps or is this not safe?
