Some advice

[Richard Mason]

I have brand new 2 3/4 Cheddix hulls , Cheddix primers , Hodgdons international Powder , and I have a pound of Longshot powder

Hulls , I have claybuster CB 2100-12 , which replaces the 12S0 wad , perfect for 1 ounce load

I also have hulls in BP competition special short , CS12S

I have a good manual that I’ve been brainstorming over , can’t seem to get all it together, I want a 1 ounce load and I have #6 shot in nickle plated lead

I’d like to keep the pressure down to what would be considered safe or easy on my old Parker , 1923 , it’s a solid gun

Any suggestions on the hull to use and the powder to use for a amount ,

Thanks ,

It would be hard to harm a 1923 Parker with any load of one ounce that you find in the loading manual. Stay at or below 1200 fps.

Thanks
I have a load that is 8000 PSI , and it’s close to 1300 FPS
1 1/4 of nickle plated in # 6 ,

I just finished up 12 rounds and was going to test them on some birds

In your opinion , is that 1300 fps a little to fast

In my opinion yes, no need for speed. 1200 is sufficient.

What are you planning to hunt where you need 1 1/4oz loads?

Pheasant up in Alberta , only reason I went with 1 1/4 load was I had the wads and powder for that load in the book

I’d sooner use 1 ounce loads , I just need to get the correct wads , it’s tough to get the right stuff up here

Ok
I shoot them off in one of my semi’s on pheasants

I’ll just have to wait till I get some different wads

If it were my choice I would not abuse a 1923 Parker, probably on the 1 1/2 frame, with those loads on a regular basis. Why beat it up. I know... in my day of pheasant shooting I might get to shoot my gun five or six times on an outing but some guys shooting wild pheasants today might shoot up to a box of shells in a morning's hunt.

If I’m lucky , it would be like 6 shells for a morning hunt , I’m going to shoot of the ones I loaded today in my beretta semi on pheasants
I got new wads coming in a day or two , then I’ll load up a bunch of 1 ounce loads and keep em around 8000psi and about 1200 fps

[Dean Romig]

Those are good numbers Richard!
