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.

That would be nice but is it really safe for the barrels? I've read a few things regarding chamber inserts. (If it's on the internet it must be true, right?)
Up to 8 gauges down will pattern better because it shortens the shot string by allowing the shot to spread out in the barrel. This still allows the choke to constrict the pattern, or rather, bunch up the shot. People on other forums say that this could cause the steel shot to bulge the barrel as it passes through the choke. True or false?

That's what they say..... True or false?.... Who knows for sure? I don't, but I tend to err on the side of caution.
