Ed, There are two possible scenarios from which your gun shop drew their conclusion as the likely catastrophic result of shooting your gun.
They are A) that they saw some defect which would cause a failure, if shot with any load, black, smokeless or otherwise.
and B) they flounder in the ignorance that so many do, under the mistaken impression that twist or damuscus barrels are inherently unsafe with anything but black powder. I suggest you solicit the names of 'real' gunsmiths, and given that they determine that your gun is mechanically sound, buy a few boxes of RST Paper Light shells. These shells, loaded with a modern smokeless powder will not tax the barrels, stock, or your shoulder.
