They are a great company to do business with . Penna. to Vermont in a couple of days!
Question: anyone shoot their 16 gauge one ounce light loads in a "0" frame? I shoot them in a # 1 frame 16 and they do have a little bit of a recoil. I am considering a "0" frame 16 and wonder if one ounce might be hard on the lighter stock. Thanks

Eric, I was out last weekend with my 0 frame GH 16ga and my 1 frame VH and I use the 2-1/2 Lite 1 oz. loads and the recoil felt the same. Both guns have 28 inch bbls. I'm gonna try their new paper shells on my 16 ga lifter but I'll be using the 7/8 oz loads just in case.

I have shot their 7/8 and 1 oz loads out of several 16 0 frame guns and one lifter with no problems. The 7/8oz load will consistantly break targets and makes a nice light upland bird load.

I just picked up 3 boxes of 2 1/2 inch 28's in their "brush load" for Grouse this fall. They should make a leathal combination and swat the Grouse with authority.

That's good to hear Richard. Now I feel better about taking the old girl out.

I just returned from a shooting session in my local gravel pit. I tried a new theory on my 41 Swiss cartridges, but will abandon it. My original idea performed better. As for the 1890 vintage 'New Baker', it handled the 10 gauge RSTs without a hitch. Recoil was light and the old girl threw some awesome patterns beyond 25 yards. It should be a deadly grouse gun this fall. Nothing like a set of one iron crolle (or London Twist, as Baker called them) barrels to enhance a day of chasing the elusive Ruffed Grouse!

Theory? Idea? what, what???

I use nothing but RST paper’s in my 1907 VH 0 frame 16 with 26” barrels 5lb. 13 oz. (fast becoming my all time favorite shotgun:-) recoil is very tolerable and you just got to love the smoke & smell of those papers, “old school all the way”


I dropped 12 of these on a hunt back in Feb. using the above-mentioned Parker & shells in there #6 shot. I have a flat of #7.5’s on the ready for this September’s dove opener
