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.

Most of my smallbores have short chambers and all I've ever fed them is a diet of low pressure, light payload 2 3/4' ammo.

While not 'currently available', Alliant 20/28 is widely considered the most popular choice for powder. Many of us foresaw the supply issues, purportedly associated with the war in Ukraine, and stocked up.
Winchester 572 can be substituted, in approximately the same amount. I'm pretty satisfied with 14.5grs of 20/28. Winchester 572 is a bit dirty, especially when compared to 20/28.
I have 28s in 2.5" and 2.75", so I load only 2.5". My wad of choice, and I've tried lots of them, is the old Fiocchi RO-28, for 3/4oz, now sold by BPI simply as RO-28.
You'll need to trim your hulls a bit when Roll crimping. Tested pressure are, on average, around 500psi less when roll crimped.
