The order for my old #2 frame 20 specified 3 dram, 1 ounce loads. So Parker Brothers apparently approved of the use of such loads, even though they were not commercially available. The Small Bore booklet also mentions the testing of load heavier than were commercially available. Some of the Stock Book entries mentioned by Chuck may be shown in The Parker Story. I agree that the pattern (pellet) counts posted in the Stock Books were not actually counted, but eyeballed.
