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.

I bought 100 .358 and 100 .410 roundballs from track I dont need alot right now but I want to see how my 8 and 10 ga likes them. I will probably get a mould at some point since I havnt seen anyone with hardcast buckshot in those larger sizes. I read yesterday there are a few places you can send your cast buckshot to and they will nickel plate it.

I misspoke on the .358 round balls apparently I ordered the swaged Hornady 36 cal(.350) round balls instead which I guess is close enough. I have been watching this guy on youtube and pretty much all his videos are on odd size buckshot handloading and pattern testing. I may end up trying some 0000 super buck also.
