Default Light 3/4 oz Loads for Vintage Parkers

Friends:

I just shot a round of sporting with Claybuster's new 3/4 oz wads and 3/4 oz. loads for 12 bore. All I can say is that I will hardly ever load a 7/8 oz. "magnum" cartridge again! Even with IC choke I easily broke targets to 40 yards and more. When I did things right.

The best part is I get a "free" shot charge every seven rounds, less recoil, less strain on the gun, less weight to deal with in the cartridge bag -- and more FUN.

It's like shooting an improved 28-bore. I'm hooked. Thanks Claybuster!

The only concern is that the cup volume is reduced via a small moulded-in pillar in the bottom of the cup floor, about 1/16 inch high. It takes a little getting used to at the wad insert station. But once that's past, no issues.
