Nothing wrong with bling ding ! I’ve killed tower pheasants with both hammer and hammerless Parker 8’s using both Universal Clays and Clays . With the Clays it was the same as my 1 1/2 ounce target load except with 6’s , with the Universal Clays it was 1 3/4 ounce of 6’s . Both brought pheasants and pigeons down with authority .

They worked in your gun , but I suggest shooting one on paper at 25 yards to see for yourself .

Here are pics of the sleeves. They are approximately 1 1/2" long. I cut them in half to fit above the filler wads and below the crimp.

Gualandi wad, 1/8" 12g nitro card, 1/2" 12g fiber wad and the sleeve on top. Using new uncrimped hulls I don't need an OS card. If I use previously crimped hulls I use an OS card to be certain I don't have that little opening in the crimp that allows some shot to trickle out.
