I have some questions about using Briley subgauge tubes in a 12 ga. Parker

You will be doing a lot of heavy cleaning between shooting the different gauges. And then when you're done you will be doing a lot of heavy cleaning to the tubes themselves. They do work okay other than that. Really, the full-length drop-in tubes are the way to go, especially if you're just doing one gauge.

I used a set of the short ones a friend had . The 20’s were a skoosh longer than the chamber , the 28’s a bit more and the 410’s about as long as what’s available now . And I never had a problem with unburied powder .
