Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

Reloads for 11-A Parker chambers-- Question

Several early 11-ga Parkers were chambered for 11 paper or 11-A brass shells
0.825" head to 0.810" mouth. A machinist tried to make sleeves for my ser. No. 3561 but failed. The sleeves were so thin they become out of round and hang up on the brass of a modern 12-ga shell,

I am thinking of trying to fireform AA shells by just shooting them in the gun. The ones that do not split at the base should then be the perfect size for these 11-A chambers.

How do I set my MEC GRabber so that the Collett wIll not then re-size them to the 12-ga head diameter 0.810"? Maybe I can adjust the colett--or shoul I remove the primer manually and just skip station 1 and go directly to station 2?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
