I've heard good things about the new RST load as well but have yet to see them in action. Alex and Morris were going to come up to the shoot I was at recently but then couldn't make it. I believe they're going to start going to some of the upcoming flyer shoots to sell and promote the new load.

I have been shooting the RST Pigeon loads and they are wonderful. They are available in at least three velocities, 1200, 1250, and 1300 feet per second. They are all 1 1/4 ounces. I shoot Model 21 Trap guns but not at pigeons. My pigeon gun is a Parker PHE trap, vent rib, and it doesn't know much other than 1 1/4 ounce loads. It shows no sign of distress from shooting these loads for almost ninety years. It came out of pigeon country a rusty relic with evidence of having been shot a bunch and put away wet more than once. Yes, you can shoot big bullets in a Parker. You can also shoot them in Model 21s and have the ribs reset maybe once every fifty years, no problem.
