When I talked to Tom about one of the presses he told me a great many things I didn’t absorb of perhaps went over my head . Do they use an older style 600JR and rebuild repaint etc or do they take new presses and change them out ?

You can buy just the dies and fit them to an old style JR press, or fully set up for your load in a used JR with new dies. I decided to go for the fully set-up option to keep it simple and not waste hulls setting up a press and dies. If you are familiar with reloading either approach is not a big deal.
Many guys pick up one of these big Parkers and say "I could never shoot that thing". But I can say from experience that Parker produced beautifully balanced guns and once you shoot a few rounds you forget about the size and weight. |

My little jon boat would sink if I put my 8 in it.
I thought I would want to take mine duck hunting, but decided it was too heavy to lug around the marsh. |

I hand carried my AYA Matador ten around the Dorchester County Maryland marshes for years, just because I had the shells and didn't want to give up a 90 yard chance if it presented itself. One time, we were invited to clear out a pond that had been populated by hundreds of RSA mallards that were run out of a polluted home base. I had my ten that day, but wished my eights were a little closer than 120 miles up the road. The lady of the house begged us to take a
"big shot" like in the old days, but we shot everything on the wing. |

To be honest I’d like to take it out in a cut cornfield for the early resident goose season !
