Reloading 12 gauge in a VH 2 5/8"

[charlie cleveland]

i treasure my parkers very dearly and this is mostly what i hunt with but when hunting say turkeys i use heavy loads in these guns..my ten ga three frame ph gun has never failed me and the stock still looks as good as the day i got it over 30 years ago...granted heavy loads will damage stocks at times...and i broke a stock on a remy 1894 i fixed this stock myself and it is still shooting...i guess what i m trying to say is that i use my parkers and if they need a heavy load to do the job then i use the heavy load and do not worry about the stock..but all my parkers are shooters.....charlie
