Back in 1961, '62 and '63 I shot a 12 gauge Trojan with 28" barrels for pheasants and ducks. I used anything I could buy at the Western Auto in my town and always shot #6 and #4 shot. I never paid any attention to the loads I shot and I'm sure a LOT of hunters from the first days of Trojan manufacture until pretty recently were of like mind.
Please keep in mind that the wood is probably 95-100 years old and could crack as a result.
And keep in mind that we have no idea if your bores have been honed or the chambers lengthened. That might make a big difference as well in the advisability of shooting those loads.
