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.

Rick, attached is a "Charge To Be Used" found in the 1888 catalog. It shows the recommended shot weight and drams for each gauge. Looking at the same time frame in the stock books, normally for a 10ga you see Parker using size 8 shot in a 24" circle at 45 yards. Parker seemed to switch back and forth using either size 7 or 8 shot through the years. That was their default size. Customers sometimes specified to use a certain size shot in the Order Book depending on what the gun was going to be used for.

Hope this helps.
