Default Heavy loads

There are always a few threads about chamber pressures, wall thickness, and heavy and light loads, what is considered a heavy load? My favorite factory loads are the Remington Express Long Range loads, in 12 ga. 2 3/4 inch they are 3 1/4 dram. 1 1/4 oz. of shot. Are these ok to use in an old Parker with steel barrels, what is the min. wall you would feel comfortable using these in? Also, people always bring up frame size, but isn't the barrel thickness more important? I would feel more comfortable with a 1 frame 12 ga. with .030" walls than a 2 frame with .025 walls. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Chris
