According to Remington Arms Co. catalogues of the period 1 1/4 ounce of #8 chilled counted 511. So, 334/511 = 65.4% and 368/511 = 72.0%.

I need a 10-gauge Remington Hammerless Double. So far all that have come my way have been 12- and 16-gauges. In that I already have all the grades from K to D, I guess what I really need is an EE-/EEO-Grade 10-gauge. I may have quite a wait!! For casual shooting with old tens a set of Gauge Mates makes life a lot easier.

Congrats on a nice find.

If I recall correctly no hang tags have been found for a 10ga Remington 1894. Although the 12ga Rem's were patterned with 1 1/4 ounce of #8 it is unknown if the 10ga's were patterned with the same load. That is a very high condition '94 and a nice B grade. Pattern it with your favorite loads and see what it does. The Remington's I have measured had long choke tapers, up to 6 inches and they will often shoot very tight patterns.
