Dennis:
In a way, you are correct. Frame size relates to gun weight and proportion. Smaller frames generally result in lighter guns (all else being equal). Thus lighter loads are appropriate for lighter guns. But it only takes a few good hits with the right size shot to bag a turkey. For that, choke and shooting distance play the major role -- not so much charge weight.
Every original Parker ever made is now a century old or close to it. And out of respect for that and their aging wood, I would not personally put a 2 3/4 inch "heavy load" through any of them. Especially when it's not necessary.
