Have someone who is familiar with vintage doubles check your bores, barrel wall thickness and whether the gun is on face or not. If everything checks out you should be able to shoot standard target loads through it. You don’t want to use heavy loads as they can be hard on the stock. The wood takes a lot of punishment from heavy game or target loads.
