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.

Dave, you can load my load as a 2 3/4". Simply use the same wad in a taller model. Won't be a dimes worth of difference. In my opinion and experience you could also use the same wad and stack a cork wad on top, simply filler for the crimp. They weigh nothing and should make very little if any difference in pressure. This is a mild load anyway
I grew up as a lead 6's guy for ducks but went to 5's in bismuth. It's good but actually is slightly less dense. The load above has been very good for me.
