Where did we in the past couple of days, read about the transition to dense powders? I think it was from Reverend Drew and others on the doublegun site. By the way, Bruce, all the 1/8" short chamber business has been discussed here for the past ten years. I didn't think you were listening. Dave was too polite to chastise you for not paying attention, but I am not that polite. It might be prudent to listen and read instead of preaching and ignoring. Life in the Parker world is not just about writing checks and throwing the guns into the safe. By the way, the guns you have tags for are very unlikely to be #2 frame guns since they weigh 7 pounds, 1 ounce and 7 pounds, 3 ounces. They are much more likely to be #1 frame guns with light barrels or early #1 1/2 frame guns. Further, pattern tests on 12 gauge guns were often shot with 1 1/4 ounces of shot. These are uncommonly light guns and were patterned with uncommonly light loads.
