Interesting info Bruce and the other "shoot away" posters. Bruce raised my confidence even higher seeing that box of federal target loads. Local Walmart has some of those in 16 ga. that are cheaper to buy than I can reload. (Unlike other stores where 16 shells cost way more than any 12 or 20 similars.)
That last post. 2 7/8 chambers? If so, then mine may NOT have been lengthened and I was concerned over nothing.
I was skeptical at first of those Parker recommended loads before I interpreted what I can see of the copy above the chart ( 4drams and 1 1/8oz. ?), they were apparently referring to some very coarse powder, AND one would have trouble getting that much powder, shot and wadding into a shell that wasn't closer to 2 3/4 anyway.
I appreciate all the responses
Rick
