Many shot shell makers are sensitive to older guns and make loads for these guns. Federal, Remington, RST and B&P are regularly used in my old damascus barreled guns. I( most important thing is to figure out what the gun was meant to shoot. I have a 12 ga DHe with 30" damascus barrels and a 1 1/2 frame. The gun is very light and the barrels are thin as they were made. I shoot the 1 oz gun club target loads @ 1140 fps in that gun with success and after thousands of rounds, no problems. There are people who post on this site who have great understanding of Parker guns and can give you a world of good advice. David
