We have been through this appropriate load business many times and I see no possible resolution to it. When a person asks what can he shoot I somehow have the idea that he should be shown the Parker recommendations about what his gun was patterned for, and the Parker load tables and the Parker service and proof load tables. That can be combined with a subjective recommendation about using low pressure loads for clays, but the objective statement is what Parker recommended and individual's subjective views may be the low presure recommendations. I personally reload low pressure for clays and usually shoot factory loads for hunting. On the other side are those who always say to shoot low pressure without mentioning what Parker recommended. I do not see the situation as resolvable, as I have posted photo after photo of Parker pattern tags, load tables, catalog tables, etc, all to no avail when a person asks what he can shoot and the answer is we all shoot low pressure loads.
