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.

And they are entirely filled with shot with no apparent wad at all...

I've had them in several gauges, and figured they must have been a teaching aid, or a gunsmith might use them for checking chamber and rim depth. I never figured them to be a snap cap because of the lack of some sort of resistance for the firing pin (or hammer, in the case of a Parker) to strike.
I also have thought they were a statement about my not knowing exactly what they were used for. Yes, that's probably what it means.
