Any suggestions? I have RST 2.5” hulls to reload but can cut down about anything if need be. Have most wads/primers available, only green dot powder though.

Have a 7/8 oz load that I have been using but would like to try a couple boxes at a full oz that could safely go through an old Parker.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Rob, the Precision Reloading manual lists the following which I think your Parker would handle just fine.

1 oz.
2.5" RST/Cheddite hull
Win 209
Z16
Green Dot 15.0 gr.
1193 fps @ 9,370 psi

Damascus or steel barrels? What pressure range are you targeting?

Honestly not sure on pressure. I know they are steel barrels and that gun hasn’t had any modification that would thin it at all. Assume anything around or under 9k would be good.

Just a few boxes to poke at some roosters with so wouldn’t be anything high volume.

Rob, a couple Parkers passed through my hands and I suggest you register at the Parker Gun Collector's website. They have a very active forum and there is tons of Parker knowledge there.
