Reggie B: Thank you for advise. I have pictures but when I want to post, it asks for a URL. Does that mean that I need to open a photo account to reference?

A Parker Bros. 12-gauge with chambers that measure 2 5/8 inches is intended for 2 3/4 inch shells. Being from 1927, such a gun, in sound condition, should handle any SAAMI spec, lead, 2 3/4 inch 12-gauge shell. Whether 93 year old wood is up to that may be another question.
Since the introduction of progressive burning powder, high velocity, loads in 1922, the great bulk of these old guns have digested many boxcar loads of them. I'm sure my Grandfather's heavy 1890 vintage PH-Grade that my Father was using at King Lake in 1932, digested lots of them. R_K__at_King_Lake,_Minnesota.jpg |

Why spend the extra money for RST shells? That gun will shoot anything off the shelf if it's in sound condition. Try 7/8 or 1 ounce loads, easy on the shoulder and kills well.

Exactly. Fiocchi makes a 1oz 1170' load that I have been shooting a lot. Currently they run about $58 a flat. RIO had a 7/8 load that I think was 1100', not 100% sure on the FPS but it was super soft. There are numerous paper options on the market as well. Not to take anything away from RST but you have a lot of less expensive options.
