I have not tried reloading any non-steel non-toxic shot. When I subject a Parker to field goose hunting I use RST Nice shot #2s. Wait until they have their flaps and gear down, trays and seats in the full upright position, flair to land and are engaging reverse thrust and you will be just fine. It will wreck them.
I have (and do) use steel thru an old Win Model 12 Heavy Duck Gun. Also Hevi-shot which is hard as hell and always to no ill effect. The gun is no longer a collector item and like Parkers it was built to last and to use. Neither the shells nor the gun is a go to item for me but the combination works well. A new in box, hang tag 12 maybe not (sell it for Parker $$).
Avoid Tundra. It is no better than the Kent waterfowl Tungsten load. It is a big buck item. They are priced in 5 round boxes. Kents come in 10 per box and are generally cheaper for 10 than Tundra for 5.
If you wanna hunt waterfowl w/ a Parker, bite the bullet, buy good RST or Kent soft no-tox and be selective in your shooting. Every duck and goose out there is worth at least 1 shot if it is well within range. $4.00 gas makes the hunt far more expensive than all the ammo you can reasonably carry in. The memories in April and June are priceless.
