I agree 100% with Victor. 1 oz max and under 1200 FPS. That's all I shoot hunting with my Parkers and Lefevers. As Victor said, it'll save your stock. That's because anything stiffer may cause damage to the head of the stock especially if it has a lot of oil soaked into it, is very dry (think dry rot) or has been repaired. The stocks are the biggest concern on our vintage guns.
You can reload your own spreaders too. RST spreaders are great shells but right now they are unavailable due to component shortages. Go to Ballistic Products and get your components and load them up!! I even have some #10 shot I use for mudbat spreaders. They are very effective and don't destroy the bird.
One other item, RST does have some 12g bismuth shells in stock. You can find them on their website.
