It's hard stuff, but not as hard as steel. Any gun that can handle steel can handle hevi-shot. A better choice if you can find it is the Winchester Extreme Xtended. When it first came out is was supposed to be ok in old guns because it was softer then hevi-shot. Winchester then backed off of that statement a bit. It however would be fine in a Parker Repro with modern steel barrels. They quit making it a couple of years ago, but you find it at a lot of old gun shops. I used it in a Parker 2 frame 12 gauge to turkey hunt for a few years and patterns were ungodly good. I decided to quite using it because I didn't feel like shooting 1.5 oz out of a 110 year old gun was a good thing. Was more worried about the stock head then the barrels or frame. That thing was a tank. Sold it to a Maine duck hunter because I decided I didn't want to carry around an almost 8 lb shotgun into the turkey woods anymore.
