I use Bismuth #5s in my 12 gauge 30" Trojan choked IM and Full.
It is fun to shoot and really whacks the ducks when I do my job. |

Once you get on to SxS shooting you will enjoy your Trojans and may find yourself itching to shoot others. It is an affliction. Do not restrict your enjoyment to only upland birds. Just get the right ammo for migratory and you will have a gun for all seasons. Have fun. Jack

You have a pair of some of the finest guns ever made, and the wondrous thing about Parkers is that except for the more cosmetic features of the guns, all grades are made to the same standard -- which is as high as any made in America at the time.
Treat them kindly. No need to shoot super heavy loads, they'll kill birds and bust clays with loads similar to those they were meant to shoot. What a treasure trove you have with a pair of long and short barreled Parkers. Congratulations.

RST sells bismuth loads for these vintage doubles. I personally have no experience shooting it but I know it's what the englishmen who shoot their old doubles use .
