Hello David and Welcome aboard ! Your Grand Fathers Parker ,that's wonderful ! , No one in my Family owned a Parker ,I have my Grand Dads guns but no Parker was in His small collection ! My first Parker was a Trojan Grade also but in 16 Gauge and I used over the counter ammo with no problems but these days in all of my Old Doubles ,I shoot the Vintage loads from RST ,mostly because of the low recoil ,the age of the wood is the issue for me in most cases ,it always concerns me and unless you remove the stock ,you really have no idea of what's going on ,on the inside of the wood and the overall condition ! Of course it never hurts to have a professional Gun Smith go over your gun and give it a clean bill of health before shooting it if you are uncertain ! We have many qualified Folks on our site you could have take a look at it ,again ,Welcome Aboard hope you will join the PGCA ! Best ; Russ
