Thanks to all for your comments, Barrell length is 28 inches, weight is 6Lbs 10 oz,Fits me like a glove christened it at the skeet range with a box of gamebore black powder shells, then shot a couple of boxes of Federal at 5 stand, I dont know what the chokes are yet but devistating on targets. Can't wait to take it to ND this fall.
Now at $15,00 a box, next purchase is a reloader! More later |

Fifteen dolars a box??? What are you buying at that price??
You can buy the best shotgun ammo available for $10 - $11 a box from RST. I don't reload and that's where I but most of my ammo. |

RST will ship a flat to your door for about $10 in S&H. Go to their website for available loads and prices. You can spend $15 per box with RST but they have ammo a lot less expensive too.

I would not shoot Remington Express ammo out of any Parker or other SXS for that matter. Even if your gun was built at the end of production under Remington it's at least 70+ years old probably older. The ammo won't damage the barrels or metal but it's the wood that takes the brunt of the recoil.
Dean is right in that if your not going to reload buy the RST ammo by case lots. Shipping is a minor added expense and if you go to any of the SXS shoots such as the Southern, Vinatgers etc RST is there. I load for everything and for years have only shot the 2 1/2 inch shells and have never felt underpowered for clays or game. |
