No. "Remington Ordnance Steel" was introduced in 1897 for the 1894 Hammerless Double and had a reported tensile strength of 110,000 psi.
"Remington Steel" used on the Model 1900 was likely similar to Winchester and Marlin "Rolled (Bessemer) Steel", with a tensile strength of 66,000 - 70,000 psi.
Bessemer/Decarbonized steel tensile strength is about 63,000 psi, similar to AISI 1018 Low Carbon (Mild) Steel.
I tried to use the 'Search' function for previous discussions regarding Decarbonized Steel strength, but this is all I found

For comparison, the average tensile strength in my study for crolle Damascus was 54,500 psi; less than that reported for Bessemer.
To be clear, Bessemer is NOT the same as Charles Parker Makers "Gun Iron" barrels which were made from surplus Cast Steel musket barrels.
