I too am a fan of using spreader loads. I have a few different styles that I use depending on gauge. Also short shot cup wads or wads with no shot cup at all work well when wanting a more open pattern. I really don't like messing with those wonderful Parker chokes and I open a gun up only as a last resort.

Alan, If you want to ride to Ellijay, call Bill Schwarz 706-276- 7668

He is a great Parker Gunsmith. He has worked on many many Parkers for me.
