Mark;
The two loads you listed should be fine in that gun. Keeping pressures between 6000-7000 psi. for me is desireable but as Bruce (BD) states, off the shelf loads, usually 1oz, are safe, but to me, punishing not only to you but the gun. Keep in mind that the majority of Parker guns were built to hunt with and not envisioned as target guns where firing 100+ rnds. every week is not unusual. There is NOTHING that a 3/4 or 7/8oz. load won't do in the 16. JMHO.

BD, that's what I was looking for. Thanks.

BD , with your past experience of sticking to the 2 1/2 dram limit has kept you safe and your guns in good shape , and most likely any of those loads are under 10,000 psi. so I would think this is a good rule of thumb.

All the loads I plan on using in this gun will be under 9,000 psi, so I should be good to go .

Beautiful gun by the way. I hope I can get as much enjoyment out of mine as you have out of yours .


Thanks again !!................Mark
