So... I know it can be done and you have even quoted the original factory loads here in the past... Loads that are really quite stout in fact.
I, not having seen the gun, wouldn't suggest shooting heavy loads in it... but that's just me.

I just got back from a hunt that included wild pheasants. One oz. of 5s, at 1200 fps killed them just fine.
A 4 dram load would not have made them more dead, but to each their own.
