American Select is one of the best for low pressure loads at around 1,200 fps when using the Windjammer wad and a 7/8 oz load. You can find loads at 6,000 psi and under that will be easy on your gun. 7/8 oz is all you will need for clays.

I have been using this load off from the Hodgman website with good success:

Winchester AA hull
1 oz of shot
CB-1100-12 wad
Rem 209P primer
16 grains 700X
5000psi and 1100f/s that I have chronographed myself at 1250/s for some reason...


I have tried the 7/8 oz (actually 24gm) load with 14.5 grains of 700X at 5600psi and 1150 psi with good success also. Problem is that it doesn't crimp very good with the wad made for a 1 oz load and I had to go to an overshot card or a plastic spreader to get good crimps. If I was going to go to load this load much I would go with the 7/8oz CB wad.

Good luck and shoot straight.
Kurt

WW AA hull
WW 209 Primer
23.5 gr IMR 7625
CB-1118-12 Wad
1 oz lead shot
1150 fps
5100 psi

This is a great dove and quail load as well as sporting clays. I shoot it through all my 12 gauge Parkers including an 1881 Lifter with Twist barrels.

I use the same load as Harry lists and it's almost recoil free and burns reasonably clean until it gets to 10 deg or lower. Very good load for grouse and preserve birds.

Hi Guys,
Just picked up my first parker. Couldn't afford anything fancy but it's a nice clean and tight PH #1 frame with 28' "twist" bbls. My question is, what's the difference between "twist" and "damascus" and are you guys actually shooting smokless powder handloads in these things without fear of doing damage?
