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.

By the mid-1930s the .410 was being used in competition in two classes: “.410 Long” with 3/4 oz. and “.410 Short” with 3/8 oz. shot.

About three years after the 1933 introduction of the .410-bore 3-inch with 3/4 ounce of shot, the 2 1/2 inch .410-bore shell got a boost from 3/8 ounce to the 1/2 ounce we know today.

My 1934 Stoeger catalog shows the Western Super-X 2 1/2 inch .410-bore #9 (Skeet Load) with 1/2 ounce of shot. The Super-X 2 1/2 inch .410-bore loads with other shot sizes are shown as 3/8 ounce?!?
