Dave,
Those loads are beautiful. Almost a shame to shoot them. I don't care if they are 2", 2 1/2" or 2 3/4" the 3/4oz 12ga is simply an amazing performer. RST has developed a 3/4oz. load and Morris Baker has told me that he can't find a target that they won't break.

If I do all the driving, it's only because I'm deaf as a stone in my right ear.

Edgar you are using fresh water in the tubes arn't you? No recycleing
All I shoot are Parkers anymore I shot Gunners gun Saturday but we wern't getting along very well that day. I think the night befor had a lot to do with my poor performance.

Winter skeet league will see me with several Parkers both hammer guns and hammerless. The beretta 687 EELL tube set is up for sale

Ya, I did that once... involuntarily... while duck hunting in water over my head...

Yes Rich. I only use Poland Springs water in my guns. First time I saw it being done, I was a little skeptical, but as it was being done by a guy who has more years in the gun business than most, and all top shelf stuff, I figured it couldn't hurt (and doesn't).
Though not often, I've shot either SC or trap with my W&C Scott and that gets too hot to handle after 12-15 shots, even with a leather fore end extension.

I'll definitely see what's going on for that. If you've got the dates that would be great. Maybe I'll get my license by then

My Parker stays nice and cool actually. My dad's CZ gets hot after 10 rounds. It's a hell of a bird gun. Light, fast, shoots where you point it

I shoot sporting clays with Parkers all the time. I see very few others shooting side by sides, let alone Parkers.
