As long as the barrels are in good condition you can shoot modern ammo in it.... within reason of course. It would be advisable however to shoot lower pressure ammo though, as the gun was likely not intended for 2 3/4" shells and your shoulder and cheekbone would thank you for shooting low pressure stuff. If you load your own you can find some great loads for it on the Internet such as the 16 Gauge Society at www.16ga.com
