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.

There are plenty of folks on here to help you. You should make sure your barrels are not too thin to shoot. If the gun is in good shape and does not have any mechanical problems, get some RST shells and have at it. That is how many of us started.

From the sound of your description, your gun was made way back in the day for 2 5/8 inch brass shells. All the RST 10-gauge shells I see on their web page are 2 7/8 inch. If you like to tinker, you could cut down plastic Federal or Remington hulls to 2 5/8 inch and modify a loader to handle those short cases.
A far better solution, for lazy folks like myself, is to get a pair of 10- to 12-gauge Gauge Mates and shoot light 12-gauge reloads. My 12-gauge reloads in Remington STS hulls work great in the Gauge Mates.
