Kevin,
The patrons of this web forum have seen and discussed casualties of those that had a bad case of "The bound to's and can't help its." If you are so infected and decide to shoot your 140+ year old Parker with brass shells and black powder or Pyrodex CTG, etc. I suggest you load 1 oz of shot over 2 3/4 drams of powder. Use paper wads because plastic wads will melt a little on the way out the barrel. This leads to foul language when you clean the barrels. Are your brass shells extruded or turned? Oh, the load I mentioned will break clay targets all day long plus kill small game and birds. Most of us that shoot our old Parker 10's with modern powders load them lite with 1 1/8 oz at or under 1200 fps.
Kindesty, Harry
