Try to find a 1 1/8oz bismuth low pressure load for your Parker duck gun. Reloading is easy and gives you a feeling of satisfaction when you dust a clay or drop a bird with your home rolled.

By no means am I knocking anyone for loading the lighter 16 loads but for years I shot plain old Winchester Dove and Quail 1 ounce promotional loads in a circa 1916 GH 16 gauge Damascus I had . My loading now is pretty much 8 and 10 only .
