Yes yes yes. DRE means drams equivalent to black powder. You can use RST shells or just go to the hardware store and buy Winchester AA 1 oz 2 3/4 dre loads for easy shooting besides the AAs are about 2 1/2 inch shells By 1893 parker had changed over to smokeless powder. Black powder era guns are often thicker walled thAn smokeless powder guns because of the sharper pressure curve of black powder. That's why smokeless was often called progressive burning.
