Bruce what people are saying, is when a "newbe" asks for advice go slow, it is much safer to recommend low presure loads (as you have not seen his gun) then to go off and tell him he is fine shooting long range max loads. You don't know the condition of the stock (and neither does he) so just because Parker said you could shoot X load through the gun the gun is now at least 70 years old and probably much more and the stock may or may not be able to take that kind of pressure. I know you have a lot of experience with these guns you can look at a stock and know right away what you can shoot through it but the guy asking the question has no idea so that's why everyone recommends low pressure loads to a newbe and after that you can treat your guns anyway you want but for the first time user it's better to be safe the sorry.
