Mr. Houde:
Regardless of its proof, please keep in mind that the wood of your gun is at least 115 years old. That means it's dry. And not as strong as it was in 1901. Thus, it may be wise to defer to the gun's age and use 3/4 to 7/8 oz loads for target and no more than 1 oz for game. All at no more than 1200 fps, preferably below. And unless you are required by law to use Bismuth, I'd stick with lead loads.
This philosophy has worked well for my two Purdeys.
