When the pellet count is only two digits, a leading 3 is implied. In that the heaviest 10-gauge shells UMC was producing at the time Model 1894s were being built, were 1 1/4 ounce, I feel pretty safe in concluding the 10-gauges were patterned with the same 1 1/4 ounce of #8c as the 12-gauges. And, I'm equally convinced the 16-gauges were patterned with one ounce of #8c.
