On opening day of Dove season my VHE doubled, quite an experience!! I know that it wasn't dirt as I had sent it to a gunsmith to be Case colored and had fired it twice after it was returned with no problem, however it was with low pressure cartridges. This time with higher pressure shells. Any suggestions?

Did you also try low pressure shells?

45: my point, is that who ever did this work should have known better. parker single triggers are notorious for doubling. once, you get erm working right, do not mess with erm. and certainly, do not disturb the delicate and precise metal to metal fit of the receiver and internal parts.
keep it simple and keep it safe...

We don't know that it had a single trigger. I have had Parkers double on me with double triggers.
doubletrouble does it have single or double triggers?
The Parker site has instructions for disassembling the gun. Sometimes trash gets in the sears.
If it has a single trigger I would send it to a smith.
Best,
Mike

Double trigger guns that are doubling can be from the same causes as single trigger guns. Gunk under/around the sears or damage/wear to the sears. I've had guns wear the sears round. These were guns shot many thousands of rounds.
If you're not familiar with this type of work, find a good smith that you have references for. Trigger/sear work isn't every gunsmith's expertise.

i do hope it is a double trigger gun, as that would be much easier for an experienced mechanic to fix...
and we should all know who it is that messed up this fine gun, and then released it back to the owner in this dangerous condition; so we can all avoid him in the future?

well mike, in my humble opinion, when we trust someone to do extensive work on one of our guns, we should expect the gun to be thoroughly tested fired by the workman, and determined to be safe, before it is returned to us...to do otherwise is inexcusable.
keep it simple and keep it safe...
