As far as I know a hang tag for a Remington Arms Co. 10-gauge double has not come to light. However, the heaviest 10-gauge loads Union Metallic Cartridge Co. offered in 1900, the year the gun in question was probably made, was 3 3/4 drams of bulk smokeless powder pushing 1 1/4 ounces of shot out of their TRAP shell. A few years later UMC sped up the 10-gauge loads a bit with up to 4 1/4 drams of bulk smokeless powder or 34 grains of dense smokeless powder such as Infallible of Ballistite pushing that same 1 1/4 ounce of shot out of their ARROW shell.
