Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

Shot shells pressure.. how important..

For a Parker or other vintage SxS from 1900-1930's with Steel barrels (not Damascus) how important are the shells we use as far as pressure is concerned.
I always stay under 1200 fps..
I have used RST 2 1/2 1125 fps and 1187 fps shells with no issues as the pressure is supposed to be around 6500, was wondering if I could use some Winchester AA Extra Light Target 1oz #8 1180 fps.. but dont know the pressure on those as Winchester doesn't share that data.
Dont want to have issues with the 2 nice Parkers (and other vintage SxS's) I have so want to make sure I am using the correct shells not to cause any damage.
Thanks.
