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.

Bismuth
Thinking that reloading bismuth for my 16 gauge 2 1/2 hulls in older lighter guns may be the way to go for ducks in order to be sure I have some non tox. I am waiting to hear from RST on the nice shot. The recipe I have for Bismuth is for a 7/8 oz. load from the 16 gauge society spreadsheet. I was wondering if I have to weigh it or if I can use my 7/8oz. MEC charge bar.
Also would like to shoot a one ounce load (or thereabouts) on ducks. If someone has a recipe I would appreciate if they would share it.
Thanks

You are going to have to weigh your bismuth, MEC charge bars are designed for lead and bismuth is lighter. I have found an adjustable charge bar handy for loading bismuth for just this reason. Before I got an adjustable charge bar I had to take a 1 3/8 bar and open it up a little bit with a file to be able to drop a true 1 1/4 ounce of bismuth.
