I acquired my VH 20 ga. (SN 192.***, mfg.1922) late this past summer. After examination I was satisfied that the Vulcan steel barrels and the wood were very shootable. I have shot about two flats of ammo (mostly Fiocchi and Winchester AA skeet loads) through it and have had no negative results.

I have a Mec Grabber multi stage loader set up for 7/8 oz. skeet loads with a slightly lower velocity/pressure set up. I have tons of AA and Remington 20 ga. once fires hulls and some wads but now lack powder, shot and primers of any quantity to load. I do have several flats of factory skeet AA's as well as some Fiocchi so I should be good. I personally need some loaded 2.5" 12ga and 16ga stuff however, for my Damascus guns.

I will continue to check the status of the wood.
