And with an 8 gauge, the clays just disappear in the air with no trace of anything.

Not even dust, right Mills? Even though I've settled on the 10 as my "Big Parker" the hope remains that maybe someday I'll run across one of the 8's when I have a pocket full of cash. Or...maybe Charlie Cleveland will feel sorry and leave me one of his in the will.

The first time I ever "tried" to shoot doubles with my lifter 10 gauge I was getting ready to shoot a pair at skeet station two and as you may very well have guessed that SOB doubled on me . But I did hit the target with the two 1 1/4 ounce loads of #8's and like your 8 gauge the target vanished from sight !

My 10 Hammer is a Parker and immediately noticed as a 10. Hammerless 10 am making do with a 32 inch Ithaca until the right Parker comes along. It's a pretty impressive gun on clays courses, looks like a 12 until it sits in the rack next to one, or when it dusts targets.

I think you will find some of the loads we use are milder than Factory RSTs, to me anyhow. And a whole lot less expensive.
