This is just my position on things, BUT... I would be VERY circumspect about shooting any of these loads in any old double, especially a W & C Scott that's 138 years old.

Why? Because the stock wood has dried out for well over a century and may not be able to withstand the recoil of these loads. And a split stock head is not something pleasant to deal with.

Still, it's your gun...
