Just went downstairs and checked, it was one of 4 other Parker 410's and 3 28's (one a minty GHE 26" with tags) that went to fund Teddy's Fox and they didn't get it all done. One of them was a 410 VHE, that I sold to W. O. Odem for an upgrade project, and it was the 410 that I doubled on geese while shooting Federal paper 3/4 oz, rolled crimps. Ha, I breast shot the pot lickers as they came in on final approach. Today, I went up to a friend's regulated shooting grounds and shot 7 birds with the same pencil loads. It has to be one of the best 410 loads. Sorry for the mis-information.

So are you saying you own Theodore Roosevelts Fox? Is it the one he mentions in "African Game Trails"?
Anyways I like the 1895 Winchester in .405 win
