No one can tell you over the internet what ammunition may or may not be suitable in a given gun.

It needs to be evaluated by a qualified smith with the proper tools for measuring barrel wall thickness, chambers, forcing cones, bores and chokes.

Ithaca Gun Co. was advertising some very light 16-gauges in 1913 --

In my opinion one wants to be pretty careful feeding these 110-year-old Flues Models with their reputation of cracked frames and thin barrels.
