It depends on what kind of shot/cartridge you use. Shot, being the pelllets inside the cartridge, come in many different sizes, from 1mm to 9mm.
A 12-gauge shotgun shell typically contains multiple pellets, which are small, round projectiles inside the shell. The number of pellets in a 12-gauge 3" shell can vary depending on the specific type of shot being used, such as birdshot or buckshot. As a general guideline, a standard 12-gauge 3" shell with birdshot may contain around 1-1/8 to 1-1/4 ounces of shot, which can translate to roughly 200 to 300 pellets. For buckshot, there are typically fewer but larger pellets, with a 12-gauge 3" shell commonly holding around 8 to 15 pellets.
Note: The shotgun does not have "bullets" it has shells which are the casings and generally pellets inside the casing (of different gauge's); the number of pellets vary according to the gauge or size of the pellet. The smaller the pellet, the more there are of them.
That depends on the size of the shot in the 3 inch shotgun shell,and the weight of the shot.
Depends entirely on the gauge and size of shell. Can vary from 9-30
OO Buck contains nine .32 sized lead balls.
The number of pellets contained in the shell will depend on the size of the shot.
Anywhere from 1 to 20 or more depending on action type, feeding system, type of shell and gauge.
Depends on the size of the shot, whether the shot is lead, steel or something else, the weight of the load and the gauge of the shell. A lead 1 oz load of #6 birdshot is about 225 pellets.

What size shell in legnth are you asking about?
Depends on gauge.
The number of shots (pellets) in a 12 gauge 3-inch shell can vary depending on the specific type of shot and its size, but a common load for a hunting shell might contain around 1 to 1 1/8 ounces of shot, equivalent to around 170 to 200 pellets of size #7.5 or #8.
