This hangs by the back door of my rural Ozarks home. No kids around and it's purpose is defense of the yard against armadillos and just in case a coyote is near when dogs are out in the night. Round in the chamber is Remington 2 3/4 # 4 bird shot duplexed with # 2 bird shot . Two more of those are in the cuff along with 2 handloaded hot # 4 bird shot. Fifth one in the cuff is 2 3/4" 9 pellet Federal 00 buck. I added the recoil pad and refinished the stock. Looks much better than new if you ask me.
Choke is modified. The pad helps.
Love this shotgun, it takes me back to when I was a kid and my uncle had a similar one - though 16 gauge - hanging in the kitchen.
I would not be afraid to fire any factory shotgun shell in the OP's shotgun. Be it birdshot, buckshot or slug. So long as the shell is not longer than what the gun is chambered for.
