I would have the only double on groundhogs, but I was not shooting a Parker at the time. My double on groundhogs was with a very minty 1889 Remington ten gauge fluid steel gun that I still own. I didn't know it was going to be a double until the first chuck fell and exposed one standing behind him. This feat was accomplished on a skeet field of my Izaak Walton League. I spied the hog while shooting a round of skeet with the Remington. It was a thirty yard shot at most, the longest shot that should be taken at a groundhog, even with a ten. The load was 1 5/8 ounces of lead #4 in Winchester Super-X paper shells.
