It's commonly known that 12-gauge Remington 1894 and 1900 double-guns were typically targeted with 1-1/4 ounce of #8 hard shot and the "pellet counts" were stamped on the barrel lug.
How about 16-gauge Remington 1894 and 1900's? The pellet count numbers don't seem to correlate with the choke constrictions unless you cipher using 1-1/8 ounce of #8 shot. But the max 16-gauge period loads topped out at 1-ounce of shot. Last I read, no Remington hang tags have surfaced that would show the load and specifics for targeting 16's. So with that in mind, who has what thoughts on these 16-gauge pellet count numbers?
