I found these shells. Do you think they would be too much for my old Parker 10 Gauge Hammer Gun? - Larry

I wouldn't run the risk. Is that 4 3/4 dram 1 5/8 oz? I reload for my 2 7/8 ten 1 1/4 oz @ about 1200 fps. RST makes crackerjack 10 gauge shells just right for your Parker. As a side note I have a box of WW 2 7/8" 4 1/4 dr 1 1/4 oz of 4's that I keep.
Kindest,
Harry

What pressure would that load generate?

I'm sure the barrels would handle the pressure, but the recoil with that stout load might crack an old stock.

Yeah -wrong Larry Baer

I cannot determine the frame size. The place under the barrels where it is supposed be marked is not marked. I know it was made in 1884, has damascus barrels and it is a grade 2. That's about it.

I was just curious. The RST loads are what I'll stick with.

Thanks for the ideas guys.
