Charlie, what are you shooting for a load, are you sure it was #6? I ask because there are supposed to be 225 #6 to an ounce. 186 would be under 7/8 ounce which seems light for a 10.

It just so happens there are 186 #4 pellets to a 1 3/8 ounce load.

pete i have a old shot and powder measuring cup i got some where that i used for measuring the loads i shot..itwas set on 1 1/8 ounce but its wrong for sure i counted the load..i guess i need to get me another measuring cup..i thought there should be more than 186 of no 6 in this load...no 6 for sure...i will have to make up some more loads and retry the old remy..one thing for sure this gun shoots dead center on aim both barrels... charlie

210/253 = 83%, 204/253 = 80.6%

Charlie you might want to try a different powder/load, my patterns used 22 grains of Green Dot. Green Dot is well known for producing tight patterns.
