I’ve missed the discussion.
Just follow the Parker service load tables in TPS and the recommended loads from Parker. It’s not rocket science.
12ga
11/8 oz at 3dre or 1180to 1200fps

16ga
1 oz at 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 Dre at 1180 to 1200fps

20ga
7/8 oz at 2 1/4 Dre at 1200 FPS

Lots of cartridges are available. Cartridge length issues between 2 1/2” and 2 3/4” are much ado about nothing.

I’ve been off the last couple days chasing wild pheasants with a 16ga C beater and Bert. We’ve been limiting out. Temps today were high of 30 and winds 25 to 30. I’ve been using cheap Herters shells bought at Cabelas, the shame of it all.

Another day on the northern plains , then down to the central plains for more pheasant and quail then in a few weeks off to the southern plains for quail. I’ll live dangerously and stuff Remington 20 ga shells from Cabelas in the old Parker D 20 ga.
