Your might have always been a 10 with a bore that was 12 which is now bigger because it got cleaned up several times to remove pitting.

I had a hammer gun that was proved as a 12, at .729 presumably, that had been hogged out to .783. The weird thing was that it was really clean looking on the outside and even had a little case color left.
