This? The Parker Bros. Overload Proved stamp first appeared about 1925
![]() A Parker Service and Proof Load table was published in the 1930s and reproduced in the The Parker Story p. 515. 12g 2 3/4” shell service pressure was listed as 10,500 psi. Definitive proof used 7.53 Drams Black Powder and 2 oz. shot with a pressure of 15,900 psi. The pressure was no doubt measured using LUP and modern transducer values would be 10-14% higher, or more than 17,500 psi. LTC Calvin Goddard reported the same numbers in “Army Ordnance”, 1934. He wrote that Parker followed the SAAMI standards of that period: 13,700 psi proof, 9500 psi service for 2 5/8” chamber; 15,900 psi proof, 10,500 psi service for 2 3/4” chamber (by LUP) + 10-14% for modern transducer measurement.

Good Morning,
Would there be a reason not to use the AA shells? They appear to be a very light load. I have used Would appreciate a comparison of the two. Thank You ! |

This is old independent testing data. Winchester declines to share pressure data. FPS and PSI
AA ‘Low noise Low recoil’ 15/16 oz. AA12FL 980 6,200 Old AACF Xtra-Lite 1 oz. WAAL12 1,190 8,000 New AAHS Xtra-Lite Target 1 oz. AAL12 1,180 8,760 Old AA 3 Dr. Eq. 1 1/8 oz. Trap WW12AAP 1,200 9,600 Super-Target 1 oz. TRGTL12 1,200 10,440 Super Sport Sporting Clays 1 1/8 oz. AASC12 1,360 11,660 IMHO if barrels are unsafe with 1 oz. at 1200 fps loads, they are unsafe.

Those are ridiculously light. I think you're over reacting.
