Scott, that certainly is a light load! I have been using an ounce of 7-1/2 in my Baker 10, which is choked full and full, and also get some deadly long range patterns. I can't wait to try them in my new 10, which is choked .049" in both barrels. Enjoy!

Hey Chief,
At the risk of getting yelled at for asking a non-Parker question what kind of Baker do you have. Back in my gun trading days all my friends thought I should own every old Baker they came across, ended up with 4 total. Batavia Leaders in 20 & 16ga, a Batavia Brush Gun in 12 and a 1897 hammer gun in 12ga with 32" barrels with fantastic twist pattern.

I have an 1893 vintage 'New Baker' hammer gun with the trigger plate action. It is odd looking, but very robust. I believe it was the same as the later 1896 Model. Your 1897 is a sidelock, isn't it?

Charlie, No need to cross over to the"Dark Side"
 . Brothers Parker built some hefty barrels as well. This is an 1887 10ga, barrels still weight 5Lbs 8Oz and the thin spot measures .055.

Unfortunately (for my bank account) I'm not so particular. I like them big, I like them small, if they have hammers, I like them all! Big: 1878 Colt 10ga. Small: William Powell & Son, Best Grade, Bar-In-Wood, 20 bore.

Same here Eric,was just funnin with Charlie.Most anything with sxs barrels and double triggers is all good for me. I think hammer gun style and design is simply timeless elegance.
