Reloading is the way to go for old gun IMO. Allows me economically load stuff like 2 7/8" 10ga. Allows me to control shot weight, velocity and pressure, love the 7/8 of 8's at trap. It also allows me to reload stuff like bismuth which cna be bought in bulk at Precision reloading. RST shells are great but I'd go broke shooting them in the volume that I do in reloads.
I have never shot steel out of any Parker and very little out of any doublegun. I did shoot some 3" 20ga steel out of a Miroku Charles Daly O/U in the 90's with no ill effects.
Come to think of it I have a 12ga Trojan with 28" with .006 and .011 I don't think 2 3/4 inch steel in #2 or less would hurt it.
