If the chambers and bores haven't been messed with and the chambers are 2 9/16" or 2 5/8" or of course 2 3/4", I would think so. I have a 1898 DH 12 with Titanic Steel barrels with 2 9/16" chambers and I shoot moderate 2 3/4" loads in it all the time.
There are those who will say this is bad advice. I would certainly highly recommend you check wall thickness and chamber length first.
