Big D,
Thanks for the comment. Do I really need to worry about the low pressure shells with a Parker Trojan manufuctured in 1914? I am a reloader of pistol, rifle, and shotgun loads and understand the concept of chamber pressure. I never really thought about it and since my barrels are not damascas I was not worried. I have some vintage 38 cal pistols and only shoot low pressure loads due to the strength of the steel when the guns were manufactured. My parker action is tight and this gun has only been used three times for quail hunting in the past 25 years. I use a number of modern shotguns for rabbit, quail, and pheasant.
I certaninly have a lot to learn about Parker Shotguns and appreciate you comments. I only have 12 gage and 20 gage reloaders and would not mind reloading 16 guage in the future. It would be fun to make up low pressure loads specifically for my 16 gauge Trojan.
I have been looking for my "next" Parker, but will learn alot more before I purchase.
