By the way, I finally got a lady on the phone from RST and she said that it's looking very bleak for shells, maybe not good till 2023. She said she gets some supplies in but they are gone to the top of the waiting list as soon as they are boxed up. I've been calling that number every few weeks since this summer and she finally answered. A very nice lady, but no shells.

Kyle, your VH 20 will handle Win AA/ Gun Clubs/ Feds just fine for the 7/8 oz loads you shoot at quail. I have good loads using 20/28 powder and claybuster 1075 and 1078 wads for 3/4 and 7/8 oz loads.
I just picked up 2 flats of Win Universals that I will be shooting thru my cyl/cyl VH 20. I'll look up those loads when i get home from work.

Thanks Harold, I've had conflicting opinions regarding this. The main concern is that the barrels would be ok, but that it might be too much for the wood. But if you have the same gun as mine then you've got experience. My daughter bought me a couple of boxes of win AA for my birthday. How long have you shot these thru your gun?

The wood is rolling the dice every time you pull the trigger no matter what. your odds improve as the condition of the wood does and the recoil decreases. you can crack stocks with 2.5" Ultralites.... |

Dylan,
I'm not worried about the barrels. The gun to my limited trained eye is good. I am happy enough to put Wally World loads thru it. I just don't want to damage the wood. The gun is in great working shape. I want to use it and not be limited to reloads or RST rounds. I want to learn to reload, but I'm a railroad contractor and my time is really limited sometimes. I've hunted birds since I was a kid and have never stopped-with a Browning BPS mostly and now have a Benelli, but I have decided to acquire a new shotgun every two years and I'm super excited about Parkers. I don't want it to hang it on the wall, I want to use it. I know birds, pointers, back roads to coveys around here, but I don't know anything about reloading and/or pressures. Like I said before, when i brought the gun home last summer, my 13 yr old son held it for an hour. There is something special about these guns and I want to leave them to my daughter and son and want me and them to be able to use them. I am a pure rookie, not to be confused with bush league, when it comes to the reloading/barrel pressures. So much easier for me to grab loads at a Wally World when we get the chance to shoot. |

This is the load I use, mostly because of stuff I had on hand. Sorry if it's not helpful, but used it for a grouse load with the brush wad. Was a little hot but birds died.
