Good point, Bill. In a roundabout way, Parker is doing exactly the opposite of what many gunmakers of the day did, which was take credit for the long range of the newer ammo by claiming it was the gun that was doing it. Parker, however, here in the 1929 ad, gives the credit for the longer distances at which ducks could be taken to the ammo and, to paraphrase Parker, says that the Parker gun was capable all along of those wonderful far-killing patters, they were just waiting on the right shells. wink

May God bless America and those who defend her.
