I was able to find pattern info for 8ga guns in the stock books. These were 174xxx guns made about 1916. Patterns were 30" at 40 yards. I've seen shot sizes of 2,4, and 00.
One gun had 125 pellets of size 2, one gun had RH 90 pellets of 2's and LH 9 pellets of 00, and another had RH 90 and LH >90 pellets BB size. Anyway, it looks like Parker used large shot for the 8 gauges.
