I have a very similar gun from 1900 and when I use it for duck and goose I shoot handloads of 1 1/4 ounce of bismuth at 1250 fps. It works well when I do my part. There are lots of recipes on the Hodgdon site using Longshot powder.

My gun was a basket case when I got it 17 years ago and at the time I thought a 3 frame 32" 12ga would be a dandy salt water fowler. I had it Delgrego'd to bring it back to life. My plan to use it as my go to duck gun was derailed less than a year after getting it back when I got my first Short 10 and the 3 frame 12 went to the back of rack. It also weighs 9 pounds and it's choked .036 in both barrels. I should take it hunting again.
