Loads for my Damascus Parker

[Bruce Day]

Asking this question is like the fellow with the vintage car who asks at the local cafe how fast he can drive between Fargo and Billings. One fellow says 110, another 80 and another says 55. All are correct.

When this question is asked about Parker shot shell loads, a person seldom sees responses that recite what Parker said, despite we being fortunate to have Parker documents.

Below is what Parker said and can be used as a starting point. To the poster's question, a good answer is to shoot various loads and see what works best. We get the same question about pheasant guns and loads. The best answer always is that it varies within a range.
