I cannot recall exactly the time those articles were put out. I do know that they were in Gun Digest books and will assume post 1980. The Parker would classify as vintage, not necessarily antique. Your gun would most likely be older. I think what applied to the Parker could apply your gun except for the pressures. In your case you have no choke. I would be more concerned about the pressure of the reload. I suppose that if the gun meant a lot to me or had reasonable collector value I'd spring for the bismuth. You would have to shoot or shoot at a bunch of ducks to balance out the cost. I still have the gut feeling that steel would be OK through no choke with a shot cup.
