That's how mine always turn out

The supply chain crunch forced me to try some off the shelf shells in my Parkers even those with shorter chambers. Several major companies make 12 ga. 2 3/4" shells with 1oz at 1180fps. RST makes a 2 1/2" 1oz at 1175fps. When I shot those two together in a Damascus gun I couldn't tell the difference and have gone through a few flats of the 2 3/4" shells in my Damascus Parkers - I am not recommending this, just my own experience

Now if they made some nice 12ga 7/8oz and 3/4oz shells at around 1150fps I would be interested.
B & P Competition makes a 12 gauge 1 oz at 1160 it's worth a look, I have shot some in my 2 5/8" chamber everything went well. They also make a 1 1/8 oz at 1160, sometimes you have to make do with whats out there.
