I am pretty wedded to 16g with hand loaded 16's in RST hulls 1 oz #8 and Longshot powder. When the kids are out of college maybe that 28g Parker will show up

Andy, if you wait that long and continue to shoot a 28 O/U, your eyes will have moved, one over the other, by the time your kids are out of college. If God had intended us to shoot an O/U, he’d have made our eyes that way. (BTW, he shoots a straight/splinter, two trigger Parker with 26” barrels…)
