I mostly shoot light loads, but the Parker gun is capable and was designed for some pretty stout loads. I'd hate to have people form the impression that a Parker is some sort of weak gun.

parkers are stout guns. and like other pre war guns, they also have old, dry, fragile wood.

I've always had a crick in the neck and really appreciate the soft recoil the RST shells deliver. Getting older has resulted in a more touchy neck.
I never realized how badly steel duck loads were making me flinch until switching to low pressure loads. |

Welcome to the club.
That being said, RST has a dealer list on their web site, check it out. I have no problem ordering them online or over the phone. |

Again thanks for all the help, I'm going to Oder some rst shell in the near future but I would like to clear some thing up. First i do not doubt the reliability of my Parker in any way(it is old reliable after all) but I just want to go easy on the old girl. Also In the first post I wrote peasant in Stead of pheasant, my bad. And yes the brids I mainly hunt are PHASANT and CHUCKAR (sorry about the misunderstanding)

Bruce, have you seen any hang tags or data for a 1886 hammer 10 bore? Load they recommended. O, it's your fault I have this gun. But I love it!
