Look at the pressure tables in TPS. Also look at the chamber dimensions in TPS. Most Parker 12s were not 2 1/2 chambers.

There are many commercial loads as well as handloads that fall well under the 10,500 psi working pressure and well under Parker proof loads. A person can always choose to use low pressure or low recoil loads but Parkers are sturdily made,not delicate.

I do not know where a person would get an idea that Parker loads need to be kept under 5000psi unless he has a gun that is somehow compromised, and if that is the case I suggest it should not be shot at all.
For those of us that do not have a copy of The Parker Story, is there anywhere that the pressure tables of which you speak may be looked at?
