If you are going to shoot brass hulls, you will need to know the chamber length so it fits correctly. Your gun probably has 2 5/8" chamber and I wouldn't hesitate to use plastic or paper 2 3/4" hulls in your SBT.

As for lead, I use mostly 1 oz loads for trap, skeet, clays.... that's all you really need. Keep pressures below 7000 PSI and it will be good for you and the wood on the gun.

I won't post load recipes because there are a bunch of loads out there with various powders. There are plenty of threads in the reloading section on this subject.

You can also get some shells from RST if you really want to see what your Parker can do if you really can't wait to shoot it.

As long as the gun is sound, barrels are in good condition, there is nothing to be nervous about.... Enjoy and show them over-under trap guys at the range your new Parker.
