This has been covered many times here . Parker recommended service load pressures, proof load pressures and recommended charges are published in The Parker Story .

Pressures for test to destruction were published by Sherman Bell in the Double Gun Journal .

Modern loads is meaningless. Many commercially available cartridges today are suitable . Some such as Prairie Storm exceed recommended pressures.

Here are Parker recommended loads expressed in drams of powder and ounces of shot. Powder loads can be converted to drams equivalent.
