Just ONE cartidge can be loaded in the chamber. Anywhere from 3 - to 10 can be loaded in the magazine tube (depending upon the exact configuration or varition Model 94 you have).
The tube will hold 3 to 5 shells, The chamber itself can only hold 1 shell at a time. What i usually do is load 1 directly into the chamber, Then load 3 into the tube. I hope this is helpful. Steve S
The exact number is unknown. However, more than 7 million Model 94 lever-action rifles and carbines were made between October of 1894 and March of 2006. Of that number, approximately 70% were 30-30's.
