well i m glad mississippi has no law against hunting anything with the 8 ga except federal birds...killing a deer even though it was a doe with the 8 ga with that pumpkin ball load is at the top of my list in the things i wanted to do in hunting. now that i ve done this i think i will load up some of the short ten ga loads iin my old parker or lc smith and get back to hunting with a round ball load.. by the way the serial no on the old lifter is 25403now only got 26 1/4 inch barrels..shes took a doe with a buckshot load that tom armbrust loaded up for me and also the secound deer it has taken was killed by the round ball load made and loaded up by me..the lead ball weighs 2 ounces pushed by 40 grains of blue dot power its really a low power load..i hope others will try getting a deer with there parker shotgun espesially those with the eight ga..if not a 8 then try your 10 or 12 or the small ga s 16-20-28-410. i ve taken deer now with the 8-10 12...hope to add the rest of them..but with the round ball load i ve gotone only with my round ball load so you see my list is still very long...charlie
