Rick,

I feel sure that gun could handle some of the original 3" 12 gauge loads in pure lead, like the 1 5/8 ounce loads that first came out. You should still be able to find them. But a best choice is the lead 2 3/4" 1 1/2 ounce loads that are regular or even copper or nickel plated lead shells that the gun could easily handle, in my opinion.
