The reason I ask...after purchasing my first Parker a couple years ago I took it to SD to work on some pheasants. I ran out of my handloads (which were loaded to a spec recommended on a discussion board here) and substituted a factory ammo (now can't remember brand or data) and started having to exert a little bit of pressure to open the action. I stopped using the factory ammo because I thought it might be harming the shotgun. Is that a legitimate concern for these Parkers?

Did the factory ammo happen to have steel heads rather than brass? Budget ammo like Remington Gun Clubs, Federal Top Gun, Winchester Universal etc use steel hulls and some guns can be fussy with them whereas premium hulls like Win AA's, Remington STS, Federal Gold Medal use brass.
