410 and 28g skeet shooters use light shot loads with good results. Ones I know pattern and tweak chokes and loads to get them right. No reason a 12 g Parker can't do the same.
I only had long barrel tight choked guns, using spreaders for the close shots infrequent rounds of Skeet. Bought a 26 inch 12 g VHE choked .007 & .009 at the Spring Southern. Found my loads for tight choked guns did not pattern well in it at skeet distances.
Came up with a 3/4 oz load # 9 shot that patterns beautifully at 21 yards. Low recoil too. 16 grs of Red Dot CB 3/4 oz pink wad. Opens up a new chance to shoot for me, local club, average shooters ,its competitive against modern guns. Not going to win any tournaments shooting it low gun, still a lot of fun.
