Also and imho if an STS 1 oz or 1 1/8 oz load at 1150 fps is too much pressure for your gun then you shouldn't be shooting the gun. I am not aware of any 12 ga Parker that was not designed to shoot such a load.
As always reference to the Parker tables is best and preferable to opinions of others. Go to the source.

What in tarnation are you talking about? I didn't say the STS loads are too much for any gun i own. Where is that in my post? I went to STS specifically for the short hulls. Please explain what you are thinking in critiquing my post.
