Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

I have access to the catalogs of Western Cartridge Co., Peters Cartridge Co., Union Metallic Cartridge Co./Remington, Winchester and U.S. Cartridge Co. and I don't see it. Our major ammunition companies pretty much marched in lock step as to the loads they offered. They were essentially a trust.

Interesting! It would be nice to have access to the "backroom" goings on at both Parker Brothers and the cartridge manufacturers.
