Reloading for your Parkers - Do you do it?

[full choke 16]

12,16, 20 gauge in 2 3/4 and 2 1/2 inch. Also .410. Have loaded steel duck loads some years back before I went to Hevi Shot ammo.

10-12-16-20-28-410 been loading shotgun shells since about 1984 . Don't have Parker's for the 28 or 410 I'm sad to say .

When I started loading in the 80's I used Ponsness Warren 800's for the 12 , 20 , 28 and 410 and a Ponsness Warren 375 for the 10 and 16 . At the moment I have MEC 600JR's for all gauges . It is my thinking in the semi near future to acquire one of the new Ponsness Warren 800 machines with extra dies so I can load the 12 , 16 , 20 , 28 and 410 progressively . But I'll still keep the 600 JR's for all of the 10 gauge loading and for buckshot and slugs in the 12 , 16 and 20 .

And somewhere down the line if I can finally talk Ponsness Warren into changing one of their 1000 3 1/2" 10 gauge machines to 2 7/8" I'll upgrade there as well !

While I load birdshot in variouse weights for all the above my most fun at the moment is loading buckshot for the 10-12-16 and Lyman home cast slugs for the 12 . Hopefully in the semi near future I'll come up with something I like in the slug l line for the 10 and 16 and maybe quite possibly the 20 .
