RST 2.5 lite is my go to shell in my 20s. How about posting pics of your Parker. It sounds lovely.

Reggie B: Thank you for advise. I have pictures but when I want to post, it asks for a URL. Does that mean that I need to open a photo account to reference?

I managed to get a picture to come up this time. Sorry for the false starts.

Why spend the extra money for RST shells? That gun will shoot anything off the shelf if it's in sound condition. Try 7/8 or 1 ounce loads, easy on the shoulder and kills well.

Exactly. Fiocchi makes a 1oz 1170' load that I have been shooting a lot. Currently they run about $58 a flat. RIO had a 7/8 load that I think was 1100', not 100% sure on the FPS but it was super soft. There are numerous paper options on the market as well. Not to take anything away from RST but you have a lot of less expensive options.

Thanks Randy and Chuck. I feel better now about shooting some volume.
