If it were my choice I would not abuse a 1923 Parker, probably on the 1 1/2 frame, with those loads on a regular basis. Why beat it up. I know... in my day of pheasant shooting I might get to shoot my gun five or six times on an outing but some guys shooting wild pheasants today might shoot up to a box of shells in a morning's hunt.
