Some advice

It would be hard to harm a 1923 Parker with any load of one ounce that you find in the loading manual. Stay at or below 1200 fps.

Thanks
I have a load that is 8000 PSI , and it’s close to 1300 FPS
1 1/4 of nickle plated in # 6 ,

I just finished up 12 rounds and was going to test them on some birds

In your opinion , is that 1300 fps a little to fast

In my opinion yes, no need for speed. 1200 is sufficient.

What are you planning to hunt where you need 1 1/4oz loads?

Pheasant up in Alberta , only reason I went with 1 1/4 load was I had the wads and powder for that load in the book

I’d sooner use 1 ounce loads , I just need to get the correct wads , it’s tough to get the right stuff up here

Ok
I shoot them off in one of my semi’s on pheasants

I’ll just have to wait till I get some different wads
