First Parker (Trojan)

Back in the sixties I hunted pheasants and ducks tith a Trojan 12 and always shot 2 3/4” shells and these often were magnum loads.

Dean, the wood was 50-60 years younger. Guaranteed it's dried out more by now. The magnum loads of our youth are not friendly to the stocks on these vintage guns.

David, given that your barrels are solid, keep the dram equivalent to 2 3/4 or less, 1200 FPS or less and 1 oz or less and you'll be fine shooting 2 3/4" out of that Trojan. It's the wood that takes the punishment when we shoot snotty loads in these guns.
