Parker's Recommended Load for Different Guns

[Bruce Day]

Yes, and the table says you can use a 7 1/2lb 12 with a 1 1/4 oz 4 dram load. More recoil than I want but the gun was made for it and my point remains that these are all Parker facts worth knowing and letting others know about when they ask what they can shoot..

Factory loads like that and less are commonly available at sporting goods stores. And Rem, Win, Rio and Fed all make light recoil loads, too with under 1 oz of shot and low speeds., as does RST.

It is hard to read but the printing is different from the 1 1/4 for both 10ga loads. I believe that both loads listed for 12ga are 1 1/8 ounce not 1 1/4. If so there would be a significant difference in recoil.
