Although Mr. Day shoots heavy loads through HIS Parkers and fortunately has done no damage to the guns...yet remember this, your gun is over 100 years old and if it's been properly taken care of you will be fine. THE WOOD is also over 100 years old and as a natural product it has a tendency to become oil soaked especially at the head of the stock. using heavy modern loads can weaken the stock causing it to split. You have a light gun there and a wonderful combination of 16ga and the 0 frame. Shoot the proper load for today in your gun like the RST 7/8 or even 3/4oz loadings and you'll break targets and take your share of birds. Properly taken care of your gun will outlast you.
