That's how mine always turn out :)

The supply chain crunch forced me to try some off the shelf shells in my Parkers even those with shorter chambers. Several major companies make 12 ga. 2 3/4" shells with 1oz at 1180fps. RST makes a 2 1/2" 1oz at 1175fps. When I shot those two together in a Damascus gun I couldn't tell the difference and have gone through a few flats of the 2 3/4" shells in my Damascus Parkers - I am not recommending this, just my own experience

Now if they made some nice 12ga 7/8oz and 3/4oz shells at around 1150fps I would be interested.

B & P Competition makes a 12 gauge 1 oz at 1160 it's worth a look, I have shot some in my 2 5/8" chamber everything went well. They also make a 1 1/8 oz at 1160, sometimes you have to make do with whats out there.

William, I am sorry to hear of your bad experience. Edit, I mixed this company with another new company and have edited this post. I hope you hear some good news soon.

Dan, I do like those 12ga 1160 B&P 1oz shells too. That is the brand my Sporting clays place sells and I use them in several of my Parker 12ga hammer guns. And they are usually always in stock

It was interesting that they had a table at the Vintagers, but I found it and no one was there. I'd stay away. I've heard of other bad experiences too

I would be very cautious. I haven't even heard of anyone receiving any deliveries from them ??? They charged my card immediately. I sent them another email this past Saturday and I still haven't heard from them.

I ordered from Salt Creek and used their 12 gauge Bismuth on a hunt. It did well. I have another order from them pending now. So far I am very pleased with Salt Creek

I did see that they had a table at the VC. Set up outside the tent on the way to the clubhouse. They had a couple boxes of shells out and a gun. Maybe for test firing. Ken Snyder did speak with the guy when we were going out to shoot.
He was likely just there to try and take orders and not actually sell anything on the spot.

Their ungodly high price would be enough of a reason not to buy. I think it was something like $25/box or something.
