Scott and I shot a few trap targets with it and it broke them with authority using 7/8 of 8's. For shooting crows I like 1 1/8 of #6 and about 1145 fps or 1 ounce of #6 at 1200 fps reloads using Green Dot powder.

Are you going to clean up the wood? I don't always do that, but if it is bad enough, I strip the stock and forearm, restain the put on some Murphy's oil.

I don't know if that hurts the value or not, but I don't like really rough wood.

That is a very nice gun. You can see it's Parker heritage.

Oh, as for shooting crows. They are smarter than mere humans. I can never get close enough to pop then with a shotgun. I lay off at 300 to even 400 yds and bang away with a 222.
