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.

Bill and Fred,
I had feared that shooting 12 gauge steel in a 10 bore might result in shot slipping through the wad petals and scoring the bores. The nominal bore difference from 12 to 10 is .046". I measured a 10 and 12 gauge wads and found them to be .750" and .705". The shot cup will clearly expand to fill the bore in their respective gauges but an expansion of .070" will require something like a liner... "Lightbulb turns on!" How about one or two layers of Mylar liners? The scoring problem should be mitigated.
I also measured wad petal thickness:
Rem SP-10: .025"
BPI VP-100 10ga: .035"
BPI Multi Metal 10ga: .035" which have a much harder wad petal.

Fred, who sleeved your barrels to fluid steel for you? Are you satisfied with the total amount of money you have in this gun? Can you post some pictures? I have a Lefever sleeved 3 1/2" chamber ten gauge that I would fire 12 gauge steel in.
