SHOOTING 2 3/4 SHELLS IN A VH

I load AA winchesters in 7/8 oz and occasionally in 1 oz. for my 12 gauge parkers. They have all measured 2 5/8 chambers with a rough gage. I have also measured and measured again AA spent hulls and to me they are consistently closer to 2 5/8 than 2 3/4. At 6000 to 7200 (1oz) PSI I experience no problems and 7/8 is nicer on recoil.

I bought a flat of the 1 oz Herters 16s from Cabellas, way too much recoil for my Trojan on clay targets. Shot them up in my Remington 31 reloaded for the Parker.

If you like 7/8 oz. you will love 3/4 oz loads. I load and shoot them for everything except pheasant. For those, 1 0z is the ticket. Loaded to no more than 1150 fps.

My guns like the light stuff too. Along with my shoulder...
