Default Shot Shell Sizes

I'm new to this so bear with me..

I have a 16 guage Trojan in excellent shape. It has not had much use over the past 40 years, but when used my brothers and I always shot 2 3/4" dove/quail/pheasant loads. The gun was manufactured in 1914 and I have sent for the available research paper. The barrells are 28". Now I am wondering if we should have been shooting 2 1/2" shells all along.

I want to order a mix of the RST 2 1/2" low pressure shells to preserve the gun but wonder what the difference in the shooting performance/pattern will be verses the 2 1/2" shells.
