old gun, new shells

[Stan Hillis]

I was just recently made aware of this offering to those of us with short chambered vintage guns. Looks like a viable option.

Twelve gauge, 2.5", 6100 psi, 1170 fps. Also available in 16 ga. Now, if they'll just offer it in 20 . . . . .

I am shooting my way through 30 flats of Armusa in my O/U's and it's great ammo. It's 2 3/4", 1oz #8 1250fps we paid $90 a flat delivered from our distributor who shoots bunker in Binghamton twice a year. I'm going to see if he can get these, they look great.

They'll be alright if he's looking for hunting loads. All they have right now are #5 and #6. They are out of #7 1/2.

We know the loads that Parker recommended and now have good data as to the pressures those loads generated. It is prudent to use lower recoiling loads in our vintage doubles however.

As Drew stated, no need to beat the snot out of those 100 year old wooden stocks.

I have ordered from them and received the 12GA rounds. The 16GA will not be available until January according to the website. I ordered two cases of the 16GA shells. The 16's are only available in 7 1/2 shot size currently.

I have yet to fire any of the rounds I have received from them.

Clark, as the old expression goes,"Horses For Courses". There are plenty of Bismuth choices for using your Parkers for ducks. You're only going to shoot up a few boxes a year. If using inexpensive ammo is your criteria, buy the Beretta.
I may be at the far end off the spectrum, but I haven't bought a box of shotshells in many years because I load everything with recipes designed for the guns I shoot. It isn't to save a few bucks, it's to be able to shoot all of my Parkers.

I agree with Mr. Spencer. If you need to use nontoxic shot through your Parker, Bismuth is the way to go.
