I load all my own ammo for the most part and always load 2 1/2 inch shells as they will fit in everything. My 12 ga load is 18 grains of Universal Clays, RST hull, clay buster wad and Winchester 209 primers. It;s a creampuff load of 1050 FPS and 4500 +/- PSI. I have never missed a bird or target because my shot string wasn't going 1200 FPS
Weather or not your gun can stand up to modern pressures remember the wood is over 100 years old. Cheap ammo isn't worth having to get a stock repaired
