Parker - Waterfowl hunting

[Don Kaas]

Well Done! Mr. C....I used 2 ten bore Parkers this season for waterfowling a 30" T0 toplever and a 36" GH, both #3 frames. I used #4 bismuth handloads in Federal cases and #2 bismuth with 4 1/2 drams of FFG in RMC cases. Both were 1 3/8 oz loads and both worked well. Destry shot his new W&C Scott Bogardus Club Gun last Friday in MD as well. The old timers were very concerned with "penetration". This equates to mass and velocity. The use of lighter than lead non-toxics does not help the former so I tend to not scrimp on the powder side. Destry and I are after all followers of Robert Ruark's dictum...Use Enough Gun...

We would like to hear a report on the Chestertown shoot, Don. Remember, this is a "gun site" and we would like to hear about the guns and performance as well as the weather. Was it under or over 80 degrees F in the middle of the day?
