Related to original PGCA member Ed Taddeo from Fruita, Colorado?
I have a 1921 PHE 16ga and have regularly shot for thousands of rounds all 16ga loads , Win, Rem, Fed, etc from 7/8oz to 1 1/8 oz. Page 515 of The Parker Story contains a table listing Parker used service load pressures, average and maximum, plus proof pressures. All 1 oz /1200 fps factory loads that I know of will be within the service load approved pressures.
My old 16 has about 80,000 rounds through it and no sign of being off face, stock issues, etc.
