Just their 1 oz loads. 2 1/2 obviously.

What is the MWT of yours? Mine is pretty stout, but I don't remember the exact specs offhand

Pages 503 & 504 of "The Parker Story" state that Parker changed the name from "Decarbonized" to "Plain Steel" as Remington was using the name "Decarbonized" on their newly introduced Model 1873 & 1875/1876 Hammer Lifter doubles. 889 Parker guns were made with the Decarbonized Steel barrel mark.

Gary Carmichael's early back action Lifter



Decarbonized tensile strength is a bit more than pattern welded barrel steel and about the same as AISI 1018 Low Carbon (Mild) Steel. Winchester Standard Ordnance decarbonized steel was "cold rolled" to a slightly higher tensile strength.
