Pressure question Damascus barrels

[Bruce Day]

The load table from the Parker Story that Garth posted is in my opinion the correct approach and as a maximum service load and proof load is appropriate for a Parker shotgun with either composite or fluid steel barrels in as new condition. If barrels or chambers are honed thin or otherwise infirm then of course the situation is different.

If the stock is not in good shape then recoil should be reduced also unless those problems are corrected .
