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 is really nothing "vile" about black powder loads. Clean up is easy using just soap and water and only takes a few more minutes than with smokeless powder. I use Federal or Cheddite paper hulls and fire once and toss. (Roll crimp really looks smart and would be proper for vintage loads). Plastic hulls can be used but avoid plastic wads as they burn up and leave plastic in the bores. I prefer Old Eysnford 1.5 or 2 FG as the fouling is relatively light and stays soft. Easily shoot a 50 round clays course without having to patch the bores. Jay is on the mark about using a vintage hammer gun and paper hulls with black powder. Great shooting experience and just plain fun!

If you perceive it as “easy” that’s great and that’s your prerogative . And I perceive it as “vile” and that’s my prerogative . I only use the vile stuff in a period PA longrifle .
