Those were with an old Lee hand press kit. I have an 1884 3 frame 10 gauge with lightly pitted barrels and I have fired it with 1 1/8th and 1 1/4 RST loads. Is there someone who loads 1 1/2 ounce shells that I can safely shoot out of my Parker? You mention using Federal shells. Are they cut down 3 1/2 inch plastic shells? I would like to load some Nice Shot and take the gun duck hunting this year if I have the chance to do so but would like to use the heavier load. I would appreciate comments from anyone. Thanks.

Dennis
Yes cut down 3 1/2 in. shells, i load 1 3/8 oz bismuth for duck and same but BB's for geese, good luck hunting, scott
