You are shooting a gun that is nearing 100 years old. I would not punish the gun or my shoulder with any of the loads listed above. Take a look through the Hodgdon online reloading center, you can find more appropriate/ period correct loads. For instance; AA hull, win209 primer, 26.4 gr of Longshot, RP12 wad, 1 1/4 ounce of bismuth, 1250 fps, 7500 psi. This load will kill ducks out to 40 yards with the proper choke and shot size.
