Thanks Dean, I ask because I have been getting some conflicting reports...some say the SSS models only and some say all the Repro's with the right choke configuration are safe to do so......I also wonder and ask to those of you that have more knowledge on the subject than I do......again, given that any gun in question would have more open Chokes....does it matter how old the gun is (taking into consideration lower pressures for the Vintage guns) does the shot be it steel or lead n ot stay in the cup until exiting the Barrel?

Parker Reproductions were manufactured in the 80's and early 90's and I would not recommend shooting steel shot in any vintage gun.

As long as your chokes are less than .020" constriction,you can safely shoot steel.It is the tighter chokes that damage barrels as the steel shot in modern loads never touches the barrels due to the shot cups.

A friend and I shot in Scotland for pheasant and partridge last Nov. I used my 20 gauge Parker repro. The shells were all card/non-plastic wads. It looks like they're all going no-lead over there. Partially because they sell a lot of the game to the European Union where lead shot if not already... will soon be illegal. Someone will have to come up with a biodegradable shot cup.
