Mr Cleveland,
I have read your posts from 2009 about your lite 1 1/4 oz loads I spoke to Tom Armbrust tonight. He recs 1 1/2 oz. He states he has done 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 but the 1 1/2 is the most reliable. I am excited to try some of his 1 1/2 oz ers at about 1050/ 1100 FPS. This past weekend I shot some 1 7/8 oz ers and some 2 1/2 oz ers. I could tell a difference in the two and preferred the 1 7/8 which were easy shooting. But I am very excited to try the 1 1/2 oz as a dedicated target load. I will keep info coming to results as things develop and I hope over time, with help can come up with a nice lite low recoil and low pressure target load for the mighty eight. |

Hello John,
It was just very recently you were looking for an 8 gauge gun to buy... It seems you now have one. Were you able to find a Parker 8 gauge? .

Mr Romig,
Yes sir I was very fortunate to find exactly what I was looking for in a hammergun. 34" D grade fishtail top lever #6 frame exactly at 12 pounds. I was very very lucky to have found this one. She shoots great!!!! |

That's great! You can't ask for much more than that - and a lightweight too!! .

I have some 12 gauge gaugemates and shot regular 12 gauge shells through mine. It kicked less than a bb gun. I would not recommend that. 1 1/2 would be the minimum I would go
