Plain twist barrels and low pressure loads

[Bruce Day]

Parker used service and proof load pressures are set out in the table on p.515, TPS. You'll find that a chamber pressure of 7000psi is on a very conservative, low side. Parker made no load distinctions between fluid, damascus and twist steel barrels.

Here is a photo my old GHE 12ga with so-called high brass loads.

'Thank you' for the replies, Chuck and Bruce. I should have remembered that this proof info was in TPS, which I do have; and the only excuses are that I'm over 60.... and... those guys put way too much info into those two volumes!

This particular gun here is lightly used in that it has about 50-60% factory case and about 95% of its original barrel coloring......so abuse or modification is not an issue. Will probably be back with another question or two if I close the deal today.

Again, my 'Thanks, and for the great photo as well, Bruce.

Hey Bruce, where did you get those "chickens"? Lee.

Mr. Harris
Over 60 on this Forum means that you are on the early side of the distribution.

What are your barrels ? and when you say so-called high brass loads ,what are they actually .I hope someone that reads this does not think they can shoot high brass out of a Twist gun.
