You are right. I did not mention those deliberately because it seemed the post was getting complicated enough as it was.
The usual package is:
-Length at midpoint, heel and toe (this covers the pitch measurement too),
-Drop at comb and heel,
-Cast at comb, heel, and toe
(Some gunfitters also fit for grip angle and size and palm swell in pistol gripped guns.)
Cast off has the stock bent to the right (as seen from the rear of the gun) for the right hand shooter and cast on a bend to the left to accomodate the lefty.
Other arcane bits of shotgun fitting include the fact that measurements for an over/under are slightly different than a sxs and the English have a tendency to fit their guns to shoot high because they teach a more head up stance and shoot more driven game.
