What shells can I use?

[Drew Hause]

"Decarbonized Steel" is "Bessemer process homogenous wrought iron" and was sourced from Remington Arms. Pages 503 & 504 of The Parker Story state that Parker changed the name to "Plain Steel" as Remington was using the name "Decarbonized" on their newly introduced double gun.

"Best Gun Iron" were the musket barrels used on "Charles Parker Makers" guns

This question comes up frequently and maybe could be added to the FAQs?

Thanks Drew! I seem to always get these confused. Homogeneous Wrought Iron....I think I would still think real hard about shooting these old barrels though.
